The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can't imagine that they're making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I'd love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.

I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium

I signed up through Pakistan and got the family plan for $4 AUD a month.

Been going for a couple of years now and no problems.

Also the big benefit is YouTube music, so I don't need my spottyfi account anymore either

It's actually great value, I never watched YouTube for entertainment before I got it, now I get to watch people do way too big deep dives on subjects I would normally find boring, but because they go too far it gets interesting

You’ll get an email shortly kicking you off that plan, they’re just working through the list. Had it for 4 years, signed up quite a few others as well. Everyone has been booted over the last 2-3 months.

Well that's a shame, I don't see myself buying it at full price.
