This really isn't a bad idea. Of course they'd have to have a wallet you deposit into, and disable ads completely for anyone using it for there to be buy-in, but I like the idea of paying the people I watch directly.

1c a minute seems like exactly what I'd be willing to pay, as well. Just for an example, a relatively small livestream I watched last week would have made $1200; there's no way they're making that much on ads. If that's the case, channels would market it as an upgrade too - "join our supporter's club, and get a badge".
