So it's like YouTube but you have to pay a subscription for every channel? Ugh.

I think they're co-opting YouTube as the discovery wing of FloatPlane. Find channels to watch on YT, and if you like them head on over to GP and support them.

Right, how about a flat fee subscription service where creators get paid on the backend per views? And then you can choose to support a channel separately.

I think it’s more of a Patreon alternative focused on delivering video.
