There was an attempt to put together an open protocol for paywalled podcasts (could be generalized to basically anything rss based) by @c@qr.dev at RadioPublic called PodPass. Something like this could maybe be applied to fediverse content, too, as a way to do channel memberships. I keep hoping this can take off again.

The original spec for PodPass
That’s interesting. I had no idea this was attempted once.
