It's that simple. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Rolldach@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago That is also my take on it. Also once people have added the cc, it’s allot easier to ramp up the costs to let’s say one dollar a month permalink fedilink source parent [–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) My credit card company provides a secondary # specifically for online purchases, and I can log into my account at any time and click a button to invalidate it and generate a new random one in the event I think it’s been compromised. Not that I plan to, but if I were to sign up with X-Twitter then I’d use one of these #s then immediately cancel it and generate a new one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wito@lemmy.techtailors.net 1 point 2 years ago You're the exception, not the majority.
