I used to pay less than the single plan for a family plan, split between 5 people. Back when ad-free YouTube was an afterthought and my primary reason for using it was Google Play Music's unlimited music storage and streaming.

The amount they just increased the cost of YouTube is about how much I'd be willing to pay total for no ads. Until then, they're competing against zero ads (but no casting) for free.
