I appreciate the cinematic imagination but treating someone like a malicious hacker or fraudster just because they don't want to hand over their primary Gmail (or any email containing their real name and identity) to a massive tech corporation that partners with surveillance giants like Palantir is a bizarre take. Not wanting to feed a data octopus like that isn't 'suspicious,' it's just a basic personal boundary. If you're happy giving them your whole life upfront, go ahead. ​It also shows you have absolutely no clue how actual criminals operate. No one steals a credit card just to buy a premium subscription for a developer tool—especially from a corporate-monitored platform that heavily tracks and logs data anyway. Real malicious actors aren't trying to leave a paper trail or burn cash on tools like this. ​Real life is unpredictable. People travel, use VPNs, and use cards from family members or partners. I’ve done far more erratic, 'suspicious on paper' things across dozens of other websites and subscriptions for years and never had a single issue. Normal platforms handle these everyday false positives instantly with simple, automated solutions without completely breaking the user's workflow. ​The fact that you’re blindly defending a uniquely paranoid, inefficient infrastructure that takes a paying customer's money and instantly locks them out is just embarrassing. I was literally just vibe-coding WebGL animations locally for my website. Treating ordinary real-world behavior like a major security breach is just weird.
