YouTube doesn't like VPNs. Harder to track you (and sell/monetize your data) if they can't tell who you are.
I go the other way. My youtube account is used across my family. My recommendation is a fucking mess.
My wife and I have our own. We use hers for the kid and mine for the dog. So, hers is beauty gurus and baby shark, and mine is Sarah Boone coverage, old computers, and 10 hour videos of squirrels.
