But how do you apply this to a platform like YouTube? I don't want to have to buy each video I watch.

Sell "seasons".

Put a prize on all videos released during each year. But once that's paid I can have those videos forever.

No point on having to pay a monthly subscription forever to watch a video made 10 years ago from a youtuber that's no longer active (maybe even alive).
