I second this. Probably the best $15 I spend for my family every month. No ads for kids watching YT on their own is nice peace of mind for me and my wife.
And because I already pay for it, we've slowly all migrated over from Spotify to YT Music and been surprisingly happy with it.
How is it $15/mo for you? When I look at a family plan it's $23/mo. I'm using Spotify with a student discount right now, but my wife and I accidentally kick each other off from time to time and it'd be nice to not have to worry about that. $15 would be worth considering since we just freed up some money by cancelling Netflix.
The family plan was the best $15 I spent for many years but when they raised the rates this past year I took a look at all my streaming subscriptions and YouTube didn't make the cut any longer. There's a small chance I'll resub as an individual down the road but for now it's ad blockers for me.
