I received an email today from YouTube cancelling my Family Premium subscription. I registered my YouTube Premium here in New Zealand, and I let my parents use it on their TV with their own account. We all live in New Zealand, but we don’t live in the same household.

I didn’t know YouTube would be this strict in implementing their household rules. Has anyone else experienced this too? I’d love to know if yours is still working.

I have had youtube premium since it used to be called youtube red… since they continue to raise the price per month, ive had to make the decision to cancel..

Anyone else feel the same way?

Gmail account hacked and child locked put on, I can't figure out a way around this but I also can't figure out to cancel my youtube premium account associated with my gmail.

I have a Google Nest Wifi Router + 2 pointers which are also smart speakers.

I have Youtube premium subscription (includes Youtube Music)

Until a couple of days ago, everything worked well:

* manually casting to a smart speaker from Youtube Music app, playing music

* saying Ok Google and asking it to play music (default provider Youtube Music)

Since a couple of days ago, neither approach works. Both result in:

* non-stop skipping of songs back to back, with nothing playing.

* after a dozen or so skips, speakers says "something went wrong, try again later"

* other services like pandora, iheartradio, spotify -- all free accounts -- work

* other paid service like siriusxm for which I have a subscription as well, does not work either.

Looks like google speakers don't want to play music from services for which I pay money? This is probably Gemini AI taking over at Google HQ, now that humans are worth dogshit, and making decisions like these.

Any pointers? Customer support was useless - wasted my time for an hour and ended with "i have escalated to engineering team".

Already tried everything you can think of - soft reset, hard reset, resetting the whole universe, traveling to another dimension, logging out and in, jumping in a blackhole etc. Nothing has fucking worked.

YouTube Premium is one of those subscriptions I keep questioning, but every time I cancel it, I notice the difference almost immediately.It’s not like Netflix or Disney+ for me, where I open app because I want to watch a specific show or movie. YouTube is more like background infrastructure in my day. I use it for random tutorials, music, podcasts, cooking videos, reviews, language learning, and sometimes just noise while I’m doing chores.That’s what makes it annoying. I don’t feel excited to pay for it, but I feel irritated when I don’t have it.It doesn't seem too exaggerated to write these functions separately. No ads, background play, downloads, YouTube Music. I still think the price is getting harder to justify, especially with how many other subscriptions people already have now. But at the same time, YouTube Premium is one of the few subscriptions where I actually feel the inconvenience right away when it’s gone.Does anyone feel the same way? Not exactly happy paying for it, but also not happy without it?

My yt premium family got charged more than expected. Is this normal? I thought it was going to be 26.99

About to try out YouTube premium and really only see myself needing the Lite tier. But also figured I might as well try out regular premium since it’s free for the first month. Just didn’t know if I’d be able to try out Lite on a trial afterward.

What do you think is in the box? 👇

Like the title said they increased their price it renewed and now it forces ads more often than having it for free. Cleared cache, uninstalled, and logged out and still is messed up. Chatted with YouTube support and their literally retarded and don't care. Won't refund the renewal, Won't fix the issue. Google play shows it active and payment processed and so does support but they refuse to refund or fix it.

They said other people are having the same issues and engineers are working on it.

Obviously theyre morons because the engineers messed it up to begin with.

Anyone else having issues?

Edit: My non student account email has a free trial for a month after not having premium for years and after activating it, testing it out. I switched to the non working account and low and behold it works like it should.

Youtube engineers are legit idiots and messed up the handshake verification in the code from their own parent servers. Apparently youtube servers are having issues acknowledging Google servers verifying certain things, which is why now a separate approved active account gets the stuck account working fine.

This should count as a vulnerability bounty. And yes I had deleted EVERYTHING. And it still had issues until "tricking" it.

Now if only the pirates could make it so I didnt have to use a student discount to do like 7 steps to get youtube for free via gift cards and cash back.

Hi !!

How are you all ?

I hope this is the right subreddit to post

So basically this is my situation:

My family (dad, dad's wife, my mom ) have been using a family plan for Google One that I have been paying for them. I also have my work account and my personal account in there. They can't afford a plan on their own and they really needed to have Google One Sadly.

The thing is that not so long ago I moved from my third world country to Europe to try and start a better life but ever since then my YouTube premium subscription has been terminated by Google since my personal account doesn't appear located in Home country anymore.

I have been trying everything to make it work (keep the family plan and have YouTube premium in my personal account) but I have failed. I can't afford to pay for two plans either. I can barely afford this one and my family can't pay it either....

I also have Autism and the intrusive youTube ads are a nuisance that overstimulate me a ton so that is why I need to find a solution. In my personal laptop I have an ad Blocker but I haven't been able to install one of those in my phone which is what I use at work and in other places.

Do you have any idea how can I fix this ?
