It's up to them to figure out. But if their only solution is inconvenience users to the point they start bleeding money then screw them.

They have figured it out, and they even have two options so you can pick which you prefer.

There's also third option. They can die if they don't know how to be profitable in sensible way.

Who says they haven't found a sensible way to be profitable? Alphabet makes billions in profit every year. I've been a happy subscriber to Youtube for 8 years. It seems completely sensible to me.
