Yep it was definitely there, he was sitting beside me watching it on his phone and I heard an ad and when I looked at the progress bar on the video he was watching it had a load of the little yellow bars indicating where the ads where, I even double checked to make sure he was logged into the premium account

No ads for me on phone or laptop - on these devices when i use youtube it says premium beside the youtube symbol but on the LG tv it still says youtube no mention of premium and getting ads, carwow is one channel i'm getting Ads on from the top of my head.

EDIT: just logged in there now and seeing a full length banner Ad for the new VW ID4.

Are you sure you're using the same account on both TV and phone?

Yeah same account, this evening i will try logout and log back in again on the TV and see if it makes any difference. I did google it though and it seems to be a thing. I'm outraged it's not what I'm spending 179 pesos a month for!

tossy · 26-03-2021 9:53pm

Update - signed out of account on TV then signed in again using the 'use your phone' option and it's working perfect now. Youtube logo replaced by premium logo on TV.

Sorry, 179 Argentinian Pesos, came through as £1.42 on Revolut card.

A question, I thought each family members history was unknown to the 'family'.

I've added a young buck, and all of a sudden I'm getting dirt in 'my' history, dirty dirt, he's 19 nearly.

It's natural, it's normal, but my other half doesn't see it that way.

Thing is, when I added the young 'un I assured him that whatever he viewed wasn't seen by other 'family' members....... It seems I made an assumption that was incorrect and in my opinion real damaging possibly to our relationship - I have lied about that if I broach the subject.

Why can I see this dirt? I don't want to 'spy' on him but it's in my face, and her face, and therefore I'm guilty as in logged in under my name.

When he joined, it stated that only name, email, phone would be viewable by other family members. Seemingly that isn't so.

Help

Not sure what your setup is but unless he's using it under your user name there should be no crossover.

I saw this as a user of 2 years with some "distant" family members.

There's not much"dirty dirt" on YouTube so I think you may be overreacting anyway

It came to a head when I was all showy to her indoors and there was dirty dirt there, coincided with me adding them to the 'family'.

I'm seeing dirty dirt and it was not me, only 3 in the family ..,. My lovely lady, the stepson and me. I can rule out two straightaway lol.

There's dirt on there it seems.

He must be logging on with your profile, I created a family and I have zero way of knowing what any other member is watching, and I’m pretty sure you tube has no porn on it
Edit sorry yeah I just typed in porn on you tube and it definitely has some kinky stuff on it!

DopeTech · 03-04-2021 9:36am

Yeah he must be logged in as you on some device. Check your watch history.

You can check your logged in devices also.

McMurphy · 17-04-2021 12:55pm

Been on this for ages now, I've a family plan but recently I've noticed that when I go into my super mix, recommendations are for stuff someone not in our family has been listening to.

The likes of scooter

and other shît German dance artists, a "DJ Alligator" seems to be recommended quite a lot also.

Does anyone know how to make the app only recommend music I've been playing, and by that I mean that it doesn't throw up stuff my kids have been listening to.

Do you all have separate accounts?

We have a family account with seperate email addresses etc, the kids have Google minis in their rooms and we have a Google home in the kitchen, one in the workshop and a hub in the kitchen also.

This has already come up, one of the kids has to be logging in with one of the adult accounts by accident, very easily done if either of you have ever logged onto their device

I don't follow, the kids each have their own Google devices In their bedrooms, and are signed into various devices.

I do happen to be signed into their Gmail accounts on my phone if that's relevant (they're kids after all) if I remove their Google accounts from my phone would that make a difference I wonder?

Anyway, apart from that it doesn't explain the random dance music, I'm definitely not listening to that nonsense, and neither are my kids.

Ok apologies so I thought you were getting your kids music like scooter being suggested on your device

Mantis Toboggan · 18-04-2021 7:31am

Who's logged into the device in the kitchen? Your kids could easily be playing music there.

groom · 25-04-2021 11:01pm

I sent my wife an invite at the time of set up but she never accepted it. Now I've tried to do it again and when she tries too accept it gives an error about being in a different country. I've tried setting a vpn to India and it still gives the same error.
Can I get her in the family plan at this point? She is part of the family

Noticed some of the stuff my son watches still has ads for some reason as well

I was in the same boat getting ads and the standard Youtube icon showing top left instead of Premium. I got onto support chat ...... I signed up via Argentina for 149 ARS and it turns out that this is just Youtube Music. To get Youtube Premium (including music) you need to upgrade and it costs an extra 30 ARS totalling 179 ARS monthly. Just did it.... Premium now showing instead of Youtube in top left of Youtube page and no more ads.

ps remember you turn your vpn on while you are upgrading!

The Ayatolla · 28-04-2021 1:23am

Got the family version which works out at around 1.80 euros a month. Great bargain. No YouTube ads and included YT music premium.

rodneytrotter15 · 28-04-2021 7:18pm

How would creating an account located elsewhere work. I use Youtube a bit the kids all the time but always through the App on the Sky Q mini box. Will it Geo Locate and just lockup ?

Just log in once you have signed up. No issues signed in on my sky q box

mickger844posts · 02-05-2021 9:57am

Firstly big thanks to OP for this.
Just one question. I set up YT prem. for Argentina and have added two family members with no issues. Would it be possible to add a family member in another country?
Cheers

I'm getting Argentinian suggestions in YouTube music, any way to fix

Listen to some non Argentinian music, your preferences will override the defaults soon enough

I'm constantly listening, they're still being suggested

whomitconcerns · 02-05-2021 11:00am

Don't know what else to suggest. I'm on an Indian sub and I don't get any Indian suggestions past the first couple of weeks

Actually just checked.. The chart music suggestions down the bottom do still score top 100 in India

Make sure you're not still connected to Argentina vpn, that is only needed to setup the payment.

podge018 · 03-05-2021 8:57am

strange that. I signed up through India and never once got suggestions from India.

Nigzcurran · 03-05-2021 11:06am

I get zero recommendations from any foreign country, must be a setting some people have wrong, have you changed your location to Ireland in your YouTube settings?

I've made no changes to the Google account I've had for years, just signed up to YouTube premium over VPN. YouTube location it's set to Ireland

mine is the same now that I check it but it has never given me arg stuff

Nigzcurran · 03-05-2021 1:10pm

Yeah the only mention of India on mine is when I scroll down to the charts, not a section I’ve ever even checked before and I don’t get any suggestions from India

09-05-2021 12:30am

Does this also enable ad free YouTube or just YouTube music? I have YouTube music working great but when I go into YouTube itself im still getting ads at the start of my videos
