The answer

It is permissible to subscribe to the website and attract subscribers to it in exchange for a percentage of its profits if what is displayed on it is permissible, considering that the contract between you is a ju'alah (reward-based) contract, and there is no harm in it being continuous without a specified duration. However, if what is displayed on the website is forbidden, then it is not permissible to subscribe to it or attract subscribers to it, because Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
