Definitely could see this working. When I saw the headline, I thought to myself that I'd happily pay $2/month to allow my favorite YouTubers to have a little more financial and, thus, artistic freedom. I noticed a few of my favorite videomakers--the Green brothers, for example--improved their content a lot after receiving YouTube production grants. So many of the people I follow started out with really good content and then have spiraled into product promotion, etc--and I can't blame them, if they're spending that much time on videos. Plus, it'll probably make me more excited to watch the videos anyway if I'm paying for the ones I like.
