Hsim - Sorry about your ankle!
Linda’s YT membership is a new thing that she started this year. According to the coffee talks on her channel that I’ve watched, she plans to continue producing a mix of free workouts that everyone can access on YT and pay workouts that are for members only. The workouts that she’s uploading to the members-only section of her channel are the pay workouts (what she used to call her “non YT” workouts).
The free workouts are still accessible to everyone. The new free workouts that she’s produced since starting her YT membership are released to the members-only section of her channel first and then move to the free section about a week later. Given that she’s still producing free workouts, I wouldn’t expect her to change the availability of the free workouts.
I buy the Barlates downloads because I prefer to own the workouts. I’ve occasionally done a Barlates YT workout to try before I buy and I’ve watched some of her coffee talks and clips for the pay workouts. So far, I’ve seen ads only at the beginning of her videos.
So, I’d recommend trying out the free content and then buying the ones that you want at the next sale. There will always be another sale.
