If you make something free at first to get people hooked that is a scam and is called bait and switch.

Only thing different is that google is doing that in terms of decades.

No wonder it’s like no one wants to pay after decades of free access and no ads added to videos.

If your choice is between no YouTube vs ad-supported + premium YouTube, what would you rather have? How would you keep YouTube afloat?

Should be premium from the start. It would probably not be as popular so no YouTube would be the answer.
