I don't, but if I had no other choice and needed to sign up to such a site I'd consider making one (or trying a real one with sensitive info redacted and see if that passes), along with other anonymity precautions.
The law is IMO the least of your concerns here (you are not stealing or causing harm to anyone, so very little incentive for someone to look into it), the fallout when your real ID leaks like what happened here would be a much bigger concern especially for LGBT performers in certain regions.
Regarding credit cards, using a prepaid one or a service such a Privacy.com is enough so no fakery needed there.
Credit cards: prepaid can be detected and blocked, same as the privacy.com ones - especially when the credit card is being used to validate something. Look at any major fraud prevention software, these things are trivial.
In the real world, if you want to make money, you need to show and prove ID with matching banking details. Any inconsistencies and you don't get paid. This isn't something you can outsmart. People smarter than you and I have been thinking very long and hard about these points, much more so than the two minutes you took to think up your post. The idea is like those videos of 'primitive underground dwellings with a swimming hole on top'. Cute, creative, but terribly impractical and useless in any real world situation.

None of that works in the realm of reality.
Creating a fake ID = super illegal.
