If the party pushing is Visa or Mastercard (of which 'other' processors like Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp are beholden to as well) that would only really leave cryptocurrency, which is a large barrier to taking payments and would likely mean >90% revenue loss anyways.
Reminder that payment processor pressure is what has caused a lot of (legal) art to be pushed off of Patreon[0].
