This is possible literally now, but barely anyone actually wants it.
- Full time content creators just want discoverability and traffic to their content, they have a thousand ways to monetize with ad revenue just being icing for many
- Content consumers just want to watch their content, ads aren't annoying enough for most people to pay $11.99 to unlock all of YouTube ad-free (~13 videos / day @ $0.03 / video)
None of the current draw to the currently dominant platforms would be moved an inch by some other platform existing with microtransactions.
