Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

I'm sure they have people gathering analytics, generating reports and are preparing retros now.

A small team probably has a job to figure out the cost of cat and mouse versus the uptick in premium meanwhile they try to remove the bias of Black Friday and Christmas spending yada yada.

It's less likely but possible that they're even calculating in the loss of chrome viewership

If the numbers look promising, they might be planning/tuning their next version of the client and server architecture.

If money and revenue were no object they wanted to take this to the mat they could get us down to the point of needing to record the video and strip the commercials from it. There's nothing they can do to stop that. But they'd have to move the entire world to get to that point.

I’m sure they’ve figured out how to wring as much money as possible from users and creators.
