There is an alternative called Liberapay[0] but I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it. There is also Flattr[1], but Flattr is more for small micropayments to show your appreciation for a project or piece of software (not to mention you need a Paypal account to cash out your earnings). There's also things like Buy Me A Coffee[2], but again, centered around small micropayments (I imagine these performers need more than a coffee, although when you have several fans buying you a coffee it's a good gig). Also: I'm surprised nobody is talking about Patreon[3] (Prolly against their terms of service too though)
