Download the videos and share with Plex. With the Apple TV app, it is as easy to use as Netflix. There is a lot of great content on YouTube. Honestly it is a shame that it’s not safe to leave it running unsupervised.
This also takes out all the ads. It’s insane that YouTube programming made for little kids can have 5++ ads within the video, all of which are wildly not appropriate for kids
If you can share the family plan and use Google Play Music, it's a pretty good deal. I couldn't care less for Youtube Red, however. Just the ad-free experience is good enough for me.
I've you've used that for a while, Youtube has recently gotten absolutely ridiculous with ads. I canceled my Premium/Red 6 months ago and I'm about ready to go back. I'll get ads every 2-3 minutes. I'd say it's been 3-4 months of this. I don't even want any of the other features, or Google (Play?) Music or anything. I just want fewer ads.
Google simply can't afford to be seen losing money on Youtube anymore - and the real economics of the situation are finally here. Easy money for producers is gone, and so is good ad-free content for viewers.
