INSANE: The party is over youtube quietly rolling out account sharing restrictions | Rare Historical Photos

YouTube open on an Android phone.

Password sharers beware, it looks like YouTube Premium is the latest streaming service to roll out restrictions on account sharing, following in the footsteps of previous crackdowns on popular platforms including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, HBO Max and more.

As reported by Android Police, some subscribers to YouTube Premium’s Family plan, which costs $23 per month, have received a notification via email that their benefits will be paused as “it appears you may not be in the same household as your family manager.” The email, sent to Android Police by a reader, notes that Premium benefits will be paused for 14 days.
