Yes but that is a pain. I would like to sign up and pay once and all creators get a cut like youtube premium.

That has the problem of inadvertently supporting creators you don't want to support, for example flat earthers and clowns staging plane crashes. It's especially problematic if you specifically want to watch the video in order to criticize it, but that's counterproductive if they get paid for the view.

I used to be of that opinion with Red now called Premium. If you pay for preium then some tiny (like, realy, really tiny) percentage goes to the creator of every video you view.
But now I think it's actually fair. If you watched the video, regardless of the intent, then that creator deserves the cut, even if you hate their guts and you are only watching to criticise. The fact is you chose to watch it.
You can chose not to participate in such a system of course.
As a creator, ideally we want people to subscribe to use and have 100% of that come to us. Currently only Odysee offers this.
But in reality I think the premium system really has a place, as it means that any fleeting video you watch that creators gets a cut with no effort on your part.

oh nearly forgot, edit: regarding your wish to pay once, I believe that is a feature they will be adding soon.

Yep, see my previous comment as you typed yours, that's why I use it. I do wish the Premium cut was greater though.
Simon:
Yes, but then I would rather Google pay their taxes too and this is one reason I prefer to just pay for the service. I now have every right to demand that 20% or that or whatever it is goes to tax revenue.
