- Information spreading on Reddit suggests YouTube is implementing some new address verification policy for YouTube Premium family plan subscribers.
- A user of the service recently received an email to verify their address or risk losing access to Premium.
- However, this is a policy YouTube enforced for a while now.
YouTube Premium offers a $22.99/month family plan that allows up to five family members to share the ad-free subscription. It has always required that members using a family plan reside in the same household as the family manager. However, until now, people have been able to get around this restriction and share a YouTube Premium family plan outside of one household. A recent Reddit thread is now creating some confusion about how YouTube enforces this rule.
