I've always assumed that Google ads subsidises everything else at Google. So my concern with a split would be YouTube increasing price or less investment in the service.
I'd pay a modest fee for a non-tracking, ad-free, non-enshittified YouTube though. Compete for my money!

As a customer you really just have to ask yourself what you're willing to give up when paying for a YouTube analog. Content creators aren't going to engage in a mass exodus unless they're convinced their audience will follow them to other platforms.
Search of youtube is absolutely horrendous so I don't see any additional harm to from splitting them. And of course the benefits are so large as to be difficult to enumerate.
