They'll introduce premium platinum for 2x the price, and then normal premium will be changed to YouTube supporter class, with select advertisements
But they'll do this very quietly, and everyone will get grandfathered into YouTube supporter if they don't do anything. So in public they'll still say YouTube premium has no advertisements, even though they've moved the goal posts
This is scarily believable.
But on the good side, they offer 3 months of "reduced" cost ( but still more than old premium cost) for those that upgrade now
