I want to get YouTube Premium, The family plan looks great but I want to share it with some friends so we can split the fee, I read that you need to live together if you want to share the family plan, is that true, and does youtube endorse it and is there any way to get around it?
Is YouTube family sharing possible with friends?
If you read the TOS, you need to be same household. That said, it works and im not sure they enforce it.
Each person has their own account and will only see their library. Nothing is visible to each other.
It works as expected! No ads on YT is game changer

I want to get YouTube Premium so I can go ad free! I hate those stupid ads!
But...I'm thinking about getting the family plan so I can share it with my wife and maybe friends.
QUESTIONs:
> If someone lives outside of my house, can I add them as a 'family' member? Will it work for them?
> How do we manage what each person sees? Can they see my viewing history, playlists, etc., or is that hidden?
> Lastly, does it work as expected: no more ads...?
THANKS!!!

They have to live in the same physical location, google/yt checks locations. They do remove ads though
