Comment on YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users

  Your comment assumes two things.

  1. Companies try to make more profit
  2. YouTube will make more profit by having ad contained paid tiers

  The fist point is a fact of life.

  The second one is simply not fact. It could be profitably, but it is far from guaranteed. They could just as easily make far more money by keeping the paid tier ad-free to avoid the loss of subscribers.
