    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

        But on the good side, they offer 3 months of "reduced" cost ( but still more than old premium cost) for those that upgrade now

      More realistically they'll bump up the price of premium a bit more and then have a reduced ads tier for like $6-7. But, I also have my doubts about that. The business model is significantly different than other "streaming services".
