Since hosting videos is expensive and many youtubers rely on youtube for income, I think paying to watch makes sense, especially if it's reasonably priced with a large cut going to the creators like with nebula. The main downside is that it's hard to imagine most people switching to a subscription based service, so creators will still have to rely on youtube for discoverability.
