Personally? It actually functions. We have both Proton and Nord in our house because for some reason Nord refuses to function properly on my devices. My acct is a “family member”, so we think it has something to do with the account linkage on the backend - we paid for premium about a year and a half before we even started seeing YouTube sponsorships, so there may just be something not right in the code from all the updates, dunno, it’s a wild guess lol.
