Description

## The Issue
This is just an idea. Feel free to dismiss it.
It is related to #1396 and #1397. My idea is to add options to make subscriptions view section to enable the app users to support the content creators with various types of LBC donations.

There could be a separate sub-menu under "Subscriptions" where the users could set:

- fixed or monthly LBC amount they wish to spend
- to distribute that amount to creators they subscribe to based on the new content pieces they make or equally
- or even an option to distribute that amount to any claim user viewed

My graphics editing skills are at plankton level.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Subscriptions view and the related issues #1396 and #1397. Clarify the intended settings for fixed or monthly LBC spending and how distributions should be calculated before defining the interface. Done means the chosen support options are available in a separate Subscriptions submenu and their behavior is specified.
