    It’s about having CC on file. He wants to create a mega app and needs to be able to charge users to do that. It’s that simple.

      That is also my take on it. Also once people have added the cc, it’s allot easier to ramp up the costs to let’s say one dollar a month

      My credit card company provides a secondary # specifically for online purchases, and I can log into my account at any time and click a button to invalidate it and generate a new random one in the event I think it’s been compromised.

      Not that I plan to, but if I were to sign up with X-Twitter then I’d use one of these #s then immediately cancel it and generate a new one.

        You’re the exception, not the majority. I think we can safely ASSume that 90% of people won’t do it. Sad reality…
