Earlier this month, reports of a YouTube TV password-sharing crackdown emerged. The timing felt very ominous, with Netflix expanding its own campaign the previous month. But YouTube's claimed it's something different.
The first report of this crackdown came from Cord Cutters News, which cited "a growing number of people" who "reported their friends and family have woken up to error messages on YouTube TV." The service apparently told them to "buy their own YouTube TV subscription or return to their home location to continue using YouTube TV."
