Exactly my take, it’s so much easier to cancel a streaming service than go through the hassle of getting a new card. I cancel/renew mine frequently depending on when shows I actually want to watch drop.

Yea this seems to me like more of a convenience than a hinderance. But if I had to guess, this article is implying a lot of people just don’t cancel services they don’t use and just pay them for years until a credit card expires, assuming the charges stop coming when that happens.

Exactly! Prove these non-believers wrong by buying all my crypto!

lol. lmao.

I think it’s entirely valid. Cryptocurrency has fictional backing and can only be profitable if you can find another sucker — uh, buyer — for your fictional property.
