I would assume they are constantly trying to circumvent blocking. It's not even a profit making platform. Note sometimes on VPN or when i travel, even with YT premium subscription i sometimes get a pop up indicating YT premium might not be available in my area and I might see ads. Don't think i've experienced it yet. One aside is i noticed on my Google drive/workspace whatever its called now business account i see ads on youtube. Seems a bit cheap not to give that as a benefit for paid accounts
