Maybe incorporate an Ubuntu-style 'suggested payment' part to the signup? You could have one or two reminders during the course if they choose 'Free'. Or supplement with paid-for content that goes beyond the course?
I agree that it's a lot of work and wouldn't be unfair to seek some compensation.

Obviously I don't have insight into what the creator will be doing with it in the future, but what I fully expect is these videos will be free, but the additional videos on React and other frameworks/languages will be offered at additional cost.

not a lot of people have money to just pay for everything on top of daily living bills. Less people would use it if it involved money.
Well, i don't see how you're going to be able to maintain this project(100's of hours of videos) without earning anything for it. Quality is bound to decrease in the long run. I believe you should stick with your previous model(Free for a month or two, subscribe when its useful or pay a fixed sum for lifetime access).
