YouTube has likely figured out that they have saturated their market for full Premium and now are going down market.

Hmmm, I perceive the reverse when looking at the broader scheme of things. They are slamming the ads so hard to make the free experience painful, that it's driving more people to the premium. I don't know about where you are, but multiple ads, one of them 4 minutes long, in the middle of a 6 minute video is pretty common in (say) France, and they mess with the controls so you can't skip them.

I expect a bright future for premium, based on the cruel economics of enshittification.
