I don't mind giving my date of birth to all the services I already pay for with credit card but face scanning? That's just creepy. Fuck off.

Even using a credit card for something like Spotify is already giving out more information than is needed.

How do you suggest people pay for Spotify?

He's saying if you have a credit card to pay there's no need to verify (I think)

Edit: nah I'm wrong, cheers

I just hate credit cards since they are like the worst payment method unless you want to dig a financial hole for yourself

Only if you’re bad with money. Nothing wrong with credit cards themselves, and most of them these days are credit/debit cards.

Besides that, credit cards (and chipless debit cards) are unsecure? That receiving credit cards payments costs more in terms of administration costs?

That credit cards are a system designed for consumerism (you see this especially in the US) and that people who grew up with credit cards being the default/more common payment method are often worse with money?

There is a reason why you can only own credit cards if you are an adult, but you can own chipped debit cards earlier.
