You don't have to use Javascript, you can come with a solutions that
doesn't involve javascript.

The point thing, make me think about badge applications but it's not, I

Custom user class [2] has a field points that can be increased using some
form. Then there is another table that we can call Subscription that looks
like the following:
class Subscription(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
video = models.ForeignKey(Video)
end_date = models.DateTimeField()
When the user tries to play a video you check for a valid subscription
something like Subscription.filter(end_data__gt=current_date,
user=request.current_user) depending on the result you show a pay wall or
the video.
