"YouTube is now following in the footsteps of Netflix and Disney+, as it's started to crack down on usage of YouTube Premium Family plans at different locations. The service is alerting people who are using an account that's part of a Premium Family group but at a different location than the family manager that their membership will be paused in 14 days."
"This is because, as per YouTube's Premium family membership terms of service, all members of each family plan have to be in the same household as the family manager. This isn't a recent change, it's always been like that, it's just that YouTube has only now started enforcing this rule, undoubtedly in a bid to get more revenue, as the people whose Family plan memberships will be paused will now have to get some subscription of their own."
YouTube has begun enforcing its Premium Family household requirement by detecting family-plan accounts used from locations different than the family manager and issuing 14-day pause warnings. The Premium family membership terms require all members to live in the same household as the family manager. The enforcement appears intended to increase revenue by pushing affected users to acquire their own subscriptions. YouTube currently lacks a lower-cost, Netflix-style paid add-on that would let displaced family members rejoin at reduced rates. Affected users must either pay the full YouTube Premium fee or stop using Premium benefits.
