    Yeah and it’s very useful, looks like this place is just as bad with the kids as that other place.

          The fact that you think it’s reasonable for literally anyone but you to give out your credit card details is a pretty big sign my guy

            Because banks don’t give out credit card details.

            You created an authorization code which is independent from the credit card details. The authorization code doesn’t get revoked automatically when a card expires or a new card issued.

              Jesus tap dancing christ. I understand the difference between CC + CCV + expiry date and an oauth token (or whatever protocol they’re using for identification and authentication). I’m saying that not expiring auth codes when new cards are issued is a security and privacy issue. Users should ideally be given a switch to opt in to behavior like that. It should not be the default.

      If I want to keep a subscription going I’ll give them the new CC information myself. Like a responsible adult. Hard disagree on the usefullness.

      Not sure what point you’re even trying to make about children and Reddit.

        There are lots of situations you wouldn’t want your service to be cancelled, so it’s a useful feature is all we’re saying. People acting like it’s malice are hilarious and/or children.

          And in those situations I will contact the vendor to give them updated information. I don’t find it useful when a free trial I haven’t thought about for three years suddenly changes me several hundred dollars.

          Nobody ever said malice, but it’s a service that flies in the face of the whole concept of an expiration date.
