I spent some time a while back trying to build the “Shopify for Video streams” where creators could have a custom hosted channel that enables them to monetize however they’d like! Ultimately I didn’t do a great job of marketing it, but if anyone’s interested in giving it a spin for their channel feel free to fill out the beta interest form here: https://yourchannel.rreichel.dev

I think there's definitely a need for this and have thought about building something similar myself. I think one thing that is crucial which I don't see mentioned in any of your pricing plans is the ability to self host. You could dockerize your application and make it super easy for creators to set it up on their own infra. Otherwise they still have a large platform risk, they've just shifted it from youtube to your company.
