putting in a credit card?
I'm wondering if paid services have problems with bots, or if they mind, since they are being paid.
- danillonunes 3y agoAh! Here is the funny thing: Now your issue is card testers blowing up your dispute rates!
- catboybotnet 3y agoPutting in a CC for a trial to access your service doesn't end up deterring anybody because you can just buy a massive CSV with stolen details for relatively cheap. Even if they're frozen/cancelled, the card numbers are still valid numbers. If you want to pay to authenticate each and every one of them, you'll probably run yourself dry. Can also just use old empty VISA gift cards, ethically sourced from relatives and friends of course.
