They can get fucked. A while ago O was like you know what let's give them money, seems only fair. So I finally subscribed, and then like a month later they sent me an email they're raising the prices effective immediately - basically changing the deal on me without any delay.
So I unsubscribed, because fuck that.
More recently I looked into sharing the family plan with ...my family, but it turna out they consider family only in a single household, and I'm not gonna try to give them money while also potentially having to prove how much of a family we are, so yeah...
Fuck them, either take my money when I'm actually trying, or I guess they didn't need it that bad. I'm over YouTube, and would probably ditch it earlier than ever watching an ad there.
