YouTube Premium for the family (24 eur a month), no substitute in sight

Not saying this will be a no effort switch, but imo the best substitute in sight would be the open seas. There is tons of ways to get the benefits of premium, without giving money to google. But it is a lot easier for a single adult to figure this out than it is for a whole family so no judgement and seeing you did so as a solution to Disney+ i know i'm not telling you about novel idea, but still wanted to write not paying for the original is sometimes more possible than paying for an alternative.

Yeah, it's a mix of kids use, daily changing content, and consumption on the TV. Hard to get an adblock working and too much work to yt-dlp all the videos I watch everyday, plus I'd like to still compensate the creators somehow. It's a complex one.
