I have YouTube Premium because I also use YouTube Music, so the subscription fee is worth it for me.

But if you don't use YouTube Music, it's far too expensive and tough to justify the cost for YouTube alone.

It's $25 CAD. You can add 5 family members. It's literally $5 per month.

It's actually still $25. You, the user footing the bill, isn't getting 6 people's worth of entertainment from it.

It's also $300 a year, plus taxes and fees and whatever else. If you're actually collecting on those 5 other users, every month, reliably and automatically (unless your time is literally worth nothing), then sure. But financially it's usually ill-advised to assume that 'if I can just get X others to do Y for Z time, then the price goes down'. Most fall into this, fail to capitalize on the opportunity, and end up spending equal or more compared to a single-user subscription.

Just be sure that the 'winner' in the situation is truly you, and you aren't being had by the thought of $5.
