We don't know specifically how d&d beyond works but if you work through the question based on what we do know? The 2014 phb is tagged as such. So that means all the content entitlements you have here are gated behind that tag.
If you don't own the 2024 content, honestly, there is no meaningful change. You won't have access to the redesigned classes, spells or subclasses or the new subclasses/spells introduced in the 2024 phb.
If you do own the content, what I am personally thinking is just when you are choosing your class you'll see 2014 fighter and 2024 fighter. That certain ui elements in the creator might change but all in it's the same basic experience.

I hope you are right >.<
Think of it like this:
We live in a capitalist society. Everything is done with money at the heart. This new PHB is no exception, because they couldn't have gotten HUNDREDS of people to work on it without the concept of profit being a thing.
Why in the ever loving **** (thats the F word, fyi) would Wizards then just go "Yeah, the new PHB came out so let's just overwrite all the content on D&D Beyond and give it to everyone for free". Literal waste of money at that point. They didn't do that with Tasha. They didn't do it with Monsters of the Multiverse. The closest we got to that was Strahd but Wizards flat out said this was errata because the things in that book were racist and we don't stand by it, so we are going to make the changes needed to bring it in line with proper standards. To that end, all fully published errata has been altered on D&D Beyond in the past and will happen in the future.
This book isn't errata. It's not a new edition, either. It's an expansion you can "choose" to opt into it. If you don't buy the new 2024 PHB, DMG and MM but eventually buy a module/adventure? You'd get whatever pieces of content are in that content that reference the 2024 rules specifically as it relates to that content to make it work(weapons talking about weapon masteries is probably a good example here), but by that point we'll have the new SRD out as well which would be referenced(for free, might I add) at that point in time.

Not quite. We can expect access to the things that are in the 2024 SRD when that comes out, which will probably have similar coverage to the 2014 SRD.

Yep, which I referenced above your post, but after the one you didn't reply to. Hope this helps.
This will be a table by table, choice. Here on DnDB they will slap the word (Legacy) next to any rules and books replaced, and you will have access to both if you purchased both. Your DM and gaming group will then choose to either use the new rules and not use the old ones, or not use the new rules and just use the old ones.
It's kind of simple honestly, and I still use some (Legacy) material as DM as some of it has not yet been updated (yet).
I really dont understand what will happen.
Are players now forced to take f.e. the new fireball rules because it is replaced with the 2024 rules?
Does that mean all classes will be updated to the 2024 book and you cant use your old content?
No to all your questions.
