lmao what a nuanced point of view, you seem to have vast personal experience of this kind of things

OK. For what other reason could you need my credit card information?

Again, it’s a filter. You give me card details, that means you seriously want the product and also that you trust me. If i treat you right and give you a great experience you’ll be subscribed for years, purchasing add-ons, and recommending me to your friends. That’s much more valuable for me than skimming 20 bucks a month because you forgot to unsub.
When it’s a big corpo sure they’ll do it cause they don’t give a shit about their customers or even their reputation. I’m honestly not saying it doesn’t happen. But when it’s a no-name with a small online product they can’t afford that shit. If they put a credit card wall it’s most likely because they were getting too many people on the free trial, and were having a hard time telling actual future customers from drive-bys. This solves that.

I don’t know if I’m “serious” yet - I am here to test the product/service. I can’t determine if I am serious or not until after I have tested it, and neither can you. I should not have to share financial information with you until after I have determined that, so this justification about “seriously” wanting the product is bunk.
You are dipping your hand your hand into my wallet. Just because you haven’t pulled your hand back with money in it yet doesn’t mean this isn’t an attempt at picking my pocket.
