The Internet is a massive revenue-generating machine, but without content, the whole model falls apart. Creative people can participate in revenue sharing on YouTube, but it’s a fairly limited way to make money. New services like ChangeTip aim to enable fans to pay creators directly.

ChangeTip is a bitcoin payment system that provides “A love button for the Internet,” which allows people to tip their favorite creators through a variety of social networks. All the fans have to do is mention another user, @changetip and a dollar amount to “tip” someone for a job well done.
