You can get a Youtube Premium family plan for $15/mo that works for 6 people.
I'm as against ads as anybody, in the sense that (1) in general I think ads are unhealthy (2) I want infrastructure that makes access to content without ads possible (3) being able to disable ad blockers is one reason it's bad to let one company control how your browser works.
I can't say I disagree with Youtube's right to monetize, it's more of an "I'd really rather if you didn't" thing, but I think they do in fact offer the affordable plan you are asking for.
