why is it required that children have access to YouTube? I'm not that old and we went long stretches with no TV in our household because we didn't have the money for it. It was fine. I'm fine. I didn't turn out normal but it was for a lot of other reasons. Read a book, kid.

$14/mo is a lot just for brainrot so you can listen to your kid shout "skibidi Ohio sigma rizz" all the time

Extremely little in life is required but that's rarely related to what defines a good (or bad) deal worth taking.
On the other hand I had unlimited video games which boomers were certain was going to doom me, yet it was fine, and I'm fine. My kid's watch less YouTube than I played NHL 93 at their age tbh.

They'll get that from school, most of them aren't watching a YouTube vid and inventing culture, they're just picking it up. Like every other generation
