No. Creators getting paid "magically" through ad revenue where any other form of payment system has higher friction is the pattern that needs to get defeated. Flattr was well on their way to a model that could've worked, but it still needs the consumers to take an extra step to "fund" what then gets distributed.

Those who produce videos with an idea of making money off views will never be able to move away from Youtube until such a system gets invented.

Not enough uptake to become viable I assume. I put $5 into my account monthly but couldn't spend it anywhere really.
