YouTube premium pays creators more per view than an ad-watcher pays, which probabaly means that the amount of money YouTube earns through a premium subscriber is more than they get from ads watched by an average user in a month. So, I would say it's unlikely Google will change this up. Premium is expensive and Google knows how easy it is to download AdBlock, even on mobile, so they'll be playing with fire.
