If you use a tv to watch, like my parents, this doesn't work.
Automated Youtube pirate server that streams to your TV with UPNP?

And you know when exactly YouTube went total ape-shit? The moment people could earn some meager bucks. Then shitty content flooded the whole platform until it was full of crap and actual good content got harder and harder to find in that pile of "you might wanna see this"
Nowadays i see the frontpage, sigh in disgust and close the page. And I haven't even seen an ad there yet. This would be the cherry on topShallow content comes from trying to manipulate the recommendations algorithm and "go viral". Without a recommendations algorithm, the incentive disappears.

Why pay for premium anyway? Let alone a family plan. You still get ads. They can be skipped too — SponsorBlock will do it for free. Google could use this but chooses not to.
They want YouTube to be like cable TV. You pay for it. You watch ads. You pay more for premium channels.
I have YouTube premium and have not gotten any ads.

you're gonna have to get ads
I don't think that necessarily follows.
Have you heard of self-hosted Patreon-similar Ghost ?

If you watch vapid slop content on Youtube, that's on you. Don't blame Youtube for giving you what you apparently want. I watch howto's, "edutainment", science and engineering stuff, conference talks, and overall generally positive, helpful content. This is a totally different thing from Netflix, which is mostly just fiction. I'd never pay a subscription for that. The cost of Premium seems like a fair value for what I get out of it, especially since creators get a higher payout for Premium views.
Yeah, Google still tracks you. So does absolutely everyone else, including your ISP that you're paying for. Until you make it illegal, that isn't going to change. I'm not going to put everything on hold waiting for better consumer protection laws, shit's way too dysfunctional for that to be realistic. Life isn't perfect.

You don't get ads. You pay less than double what two premiums cost and your household can share.

I pay for it, also no ads except the sponsor plugs, which are pretty easy to skip. Overall a better experience than the non premium. I don't live in the USA so my cost is like $5/month.

A big problem with peertube is monetization. There should be some sort of mechanism that'd do that automatically. Otherwise there won't be much content ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that it exists but just don't see it replacing even few % of YouTube as it is.
Monetization itself is the problem.

I use a VPN so yeah that's not going to work.
I suspect Google won't care if they "accidentally" lock VPN users out of YouTube Premium.

I only simp for Steam.
Gabe and his 300 yachts thanks you.

Fuck em. We try to pay even tho we know how to get it for free. Go back to ad blockers.
Not a perfect experience but it’s better than putting up with that corporate bullshit.

I just got a notification that Amazon Prime is doing the same with grandafathered accounts allowed across households.

How does one pirate free videos? Is there somebody uploading torrents of YouTube videos?

I used to be an a friend's planning exchange for sharing Disney plus. But he booted me after I kept putting weird shit on his family calendar.
"Wash that thing on your back that's hard to reach and puts out a putrid smell."
"Soak feet in melted butter."
I've been a premium member since then. I've been watching the battle with ad blockers from the sidelines.
Who is winning that battle? This will inform my next move.

YouTube is fucking garbage.
I don't care about the ads because it's fucking garbage, and why would I watch garbage?

As someone with divorced parents this invalidates what I call a "family". Same to you... Netflix
