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No point on having to pay a monthly subscription forever to watch a video made 10 years ago from a youtuber that’s no longer active (maybe even alive).
We have different concept about what great news is.
Compiling to an interpreted high level language is crazy. I just refuse to believe we haven’t got a better solution to yet.
