Do you have a means of removing sponsors on the mobile app though? Revanced has sponsorblock and adblock in the app.
You mean removing sponsor led segments inside a video? Sort of. The jump ahead feature, which I think is a premium feature, allows you to jump in the video based on where everywhere else is jumping in the video. So when a sponsored segment starts and you skip forward 30s (double tap on mobile, ‘k’ on PC) you are offered to jump ahead. You click that and you get to the end of the sponsored segment.

Wow, shilling for YouTube premium and anti-net-neutrality (the "discount through your phone company" part) in one comment.
Is recommending a product that you’re satisfied with “shilling”?
Is there a product in this world that you think is worth the price? Does that make you a shill?

and it's a multi-billion dollar corporation, that already makes more money than you or I will ever see in our lifetimes, that actively strives to make the user experience worse for people who don't pay, when they've got a practical monopoly in the "free video sharing platform" market. And you're whiteknighting for them.
By Darwin you see a lot. I was merely stating that I think YouTube premium is worth the price I pay for it.
Is there no product you are satisfied with? Your life must be pretty bleak.

actively strives to make the user experience worse for people who don't pay
And evidently those who do! My parents live in a different country. What are they, not my family? What's the family plan for? (Rhetorical question)
With Vanced I have so many more options to customize my experience. I can hide shorts I never watch, set a fixed resolution for data and wifi, return the stupid dislike ratio they removed... And if I'm using Vanced anyway to fix all the issues they introduce, why on earth would I additionally pay for their service?
I want to pay for their shit, especially to support content creators, but I can't support a platform whose singular mission it is to make everything worse for everyone constantly. Feels like every month I have to get a new extension to undo some horrible design decision.
I agree that it would make more sense if they called it a “household” plan. That’s clearly what it is.

One would wonder how they'd know that but then again, one knows.

I suspect Google won't care if they "accidentally" lock VPN users out of YouTube Premium.
Considering 50% of gen Z use vpns, I think they might need to reconsider

Meanwhile on Steam my "family" consists of 3 adults with different addresses, last names, and credit cards, who have had accounts for decades and never lived at the same place.
We have full access to each other's library.
How do you add new people? I tried and a prompt told me that we don't seem to share a household.

do it anyway. don't give money to google.
Easier said than done. My parents are the main reason I haven't, it's just easier to pay monthly than it is to fix their mistakes when they fuck up the things I try to setup.
-
Where would the money come from?
I'd be perfectly fine with some sort of subscription. That gets distributed to authors I watch. But I can see technical challenges to it.

Login on their PC or let them login on yours

If one changes their password afterwards, will the share persist? Old Steam family sharing broke after changing the passwords.

Google really seems to want to disincentivize people paying for YouTube Premium rather than just downloading an ad blocker.

YouTube steals other people’s work?
I tend to watch content creators who willingly put their content on YouTube. Am I missing something here…?
You are missing something. Multiple things actually.
- most content isn't uploaded by the copyright holder (e.g. TV excerpts)
- demonetized videos will still have ads (at least for people without ad blockers)
- videos are used for machine learning without credit to authors or financial compensation (especially without consent when it's not the copyright holder uploading them)
-
One would wonder how they'd know that but then again, one knows.
Pretty easy to know, in fact. Same way Netflix, Disney, or HBO knows. Same account, accessed simultaneously from two distinct IP addresses. Not really rocket surgery.
