    Why make the math so hard?

    If the company is selling/lending their content to another, just give people a fixed % of the deal, agreed beforehand, basically like ownership shares paying dividends.

    If it’s first party, set an engagement metric or two (minutes watched or whatever) that trigger a bonus payment.
