I have a google account and my friend bought the both of us Youtube premium so we dont have to sit through ads. (Side note: You can only watch 2 ads at a time. Single ads dont exist anymore.) Issue is, i accidentally made a family account when trying to join, deleted it, and now its telling me i cant join because i just swapped family accounts. Says i can only swap once a year. Youtube now owes us 60 dollars. Please help

Is there any specific reason other than stopping ads that you bought premium? Cuz uh, adblockers are free mate, if that was your only intention you just wasted $60 regardless. Every platform (except maybe smart TVs with proprietary OS's) have some kind of adblockers available, whether it's through a browser extension on PC or a dedicated app (like Youtube Vanced for Android) that gets rids of Youtube ads.

Secondly, from what I understand about sharing premium, your friend has to set his account up as a "Family manager", and then your account has to be setup as his "family member", however that works with Google. If you didn't do that already, or if you can't do that now because of whatever it is you did, just create another google account and follow Google's instructions.

Have you heard: I'm not a fucking consumist capitalist? Because clearly, "gEt AdBlOckEr" is not always the answer.
I've read that sentence now the tenth time and it still doesn't make sense to me

? There have been adblockers on iOS for a while, even longer if you happen to be jailbroken.
it doesn't affect any apps besides safari. And who does prefer safari youtube over the youtbe app? come on

In which case Youtube++ or Cercube has been available for jailbroken iDevices for multiple years.
both suck and are not even free. Stupid developer wants a couple of dollars every month for using these apps which are worse than youtube premium so I'd rather buy youtube premium than pay for his shitty apps that break every month and crash almost nonstop. If you don't pay you get a 1/4 screen size animated banner that cannot be removed even for a single second on the bottom of the app that is even more cancerous than an ad before a video by google.
Also, jailbreak has really fallen deeply. It's not the same anymore as it used to be. Nowadays iOS has almost every feature that jailbreak provided years ago. Thus you're always sitting ten iOS versions behind the public. I remember the times when everybody enjoyed the new iOS 10 but I had to use iOS 9 because no iOS 10 jailbreak was available.
Jailbreak is not the same anymore and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone anymore.
