Isn’t Rewards doing a version of this but abstracting it away and covering the bill?

I def wouldn't mind getting Rewards + all those other things.

No, Rewards is platform comp! 

Creator comp to me usually comes in one of a few forms

Direct from fan/patronage
Platform rewards 
Brand deals/ads
Selling products to your audience
