How would non corporate payment rails look like?

The Lightning Network (an open payment layer built on top of Bitcoin) or some other cryptocurrency.

		That would be nice... Good luck to you if you can use it. I would consider myself tech savvy but I struggled immensely to run lightning without custodial risk back.

Look at how Nostr does it with lightning micropayments ("zaps"). No middlemen needed.
