So, I’m pretty sure you just described YouTube’s model.

  Does YouTube let you choose how much monetization and when? I haven’t published there in a long time. But it seems like the creators don’t have a choice.

    The creator chooses whether to enable ads and what formats can run. If the video is longer than 10 minutes, they can also manually place mid-roll ads. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/94522 https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/94522 https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/lesson/ad-types#strategies-zippy-link-2 https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/lesson/ad-types#stra...

      Also, many creators opt for sponsorship instead of (or in addition to) YouTube's own ads - you usually get higher CPMs and you're less subject to the whims of the algorithm.

        Sponsorship is literally amount the perfect form of advertising. It is mildly targeted, in a sense that it’s based on the audience of the channel, but there’s no nasty tracking or re-targeting going on. It facilitates payments directly to the content creator, with no middlemen taking a cut. I wish this was the future of advertising.

          It comes at the cost of genuine content, though.
