    This seems to work as a model for YouTubers and podcasters

    No, it doesn’t. They’re still being paid by YouTube/Spotify a flat amount based on the number of views - which are being paid for by ads and premium subscriptions.

    Which means: people pay (one way or another) first, consume the content later.

      a flat amount

      Nope, the amount is anything but flat. For bigger youtubers the ad money start to be significant, and for bigger podcasters spotify pays something, but for the most, amount of money from ads is negligible.
