What's a good way to financially support artists directly, without involving shady corporations, and without resorting to piracy?

paying for music subscriptions doesn't help artist to much. Buying their merch or going to concerts is how they get most of their money

Do you know if there's anything for people who have no interest in merch or concerts? I'm thinking it would be pretty cool if someone set up a system where you pay a recurring amount and it gets split between artists based on what you listen to in your local library.

Buying their music outright? Going to concerts? Buying merch? All the stuff that predates streaming
