This isn't a subscription really it is a a recurring donation. And yes I am certain it will take off because a lot of creators now are unable to do what they'd like due to advertising sensitivity. A single subscriber brings you the money of 50k+ views. Even if 0.1% of the million + subs channels subscribed the creators would make a lot of money and be less dependent on the whim of YT demonetization.
