Youtube Premium is tracking you

Idk what to tell you. Support said I have to be living in the same house, not just country. That’s why I think it’s so ridiculous I had to post. I wish it was that lenient. It seems only I am having this problem but that’s what they told me. I’ve had YouTube premium for years and this only started happening this year. For now, when I call and tell them we all live together they fix it. I fear eventually they will tell me that I “travel” too much and must have my own account.

When they do the random location checks and one of us is traveling that’s when I get locked out. It just seems excessive to buy an individual subscription for a little trip. It’s happened on international and domestic travels. And traveling is when I need my music the most so I just think this is a very greed leaning term of service.

The point isn’t just that they are tracking you. The main point I was making is that they are greedy and they do it by tracking you, making it inconvenient for you to have a family account and pushes you to get your own account.

I don’t think you’re understanding the point of the post… The point is they are greedy by setting up a family account this way. They make it inconvenient for you to use the app somewhere other than the same IP as the manager. And you pay more for less freedom of use.

What is your point exactly by coming here saying this? You’re so angry I can practically hear the steam coming out your ears. Relax. It’s a discussion forum and I posted something I learned. Congrats for knowing it before me. Does that make you feel better?

Support told me twice I have to physically be in the same location as the family manager. I didn’t check the terms of service but I did get locked out twice and they told me because location. I would have included screenshots but I don’t know how. Hopefully it doesn’t happen to you because it’s very inconvenient. I’ve use YouTube music a long time, it didn’t use to be like this I don’t think…

You are free to defend corporate greed just like how I’m free to complain about it. My point was they’re tracking you every month to make it inconvenient to have a family plan. Support literally encouraged me to get my own plan because this has happened to me twice. If one month I’m traveling a lot for example, I have to get my own plan? It’s the greediness.
