Not to be confused with Steam Family Sharing which is apparently for no one.
Apple’s Family Sharing is a cool little service that lets you share purchases with family members.  If you don’t mind the 6 member limit, you can have a nice little sharing circle just like preschools have sometimes.
There is one problem with it. Â And I have searched the Internet for a really long time, and no site has picked up on it.
All the family members defer to the Family Organizer in order to buy things.
…
That didn’t sound right;
All family members have to use the Family Organizer’s bank account.
…that sounded worse;
All family members have to use the Family Organizer’s money…oh fuck it.
That’s right:  ALL FAMILY MEMBERS ARE RESTRICTED TO THE FAMILY ORGANIZER’S BANK ACCOUNT AND CAN SUCK THE FAMILY ORGANIZER DRY FASTER THAN HE CAN SAY “OOPSâ€.
Unless you have a minor (a person under 13).  Then the minor has to ask permission.  Also, Apple recommends to pick the most reliable person.  Yes…pick the most reliable and honest person and suck them dry.  Thanks M.A. Larson—I mean Apple—I mean Kevin Lynch.
