The less people who watch YouTube, the less valuable those ads are, and therefore the less valuable premium just be.

Have YouTube viewers been going up to justify ads being more valuable?

Video serving can cost a lot of bandwidth. Hence it could be sensible.

  YouTube don’t even pay a fraction of those bandwidth as they run caching box on your ISP for free. ISPs won’t let any random companies run equipments for free in their network, so this is a significant competitive advantage. You’ll have to be a company as big as Google, Apple, or Netflix to do this.
