So mastercard still gets what they want - to distance themselves from what they see as distasteful content - but this way they also still get the cut of your transaction anyway? That doesn’t seem like the most effective protest
Interesting point but… what else can we do? Mail the dev cash? PayPal direct from bank? CRYPTO. I completely forgot about crypto because of all the shady bullshit. But we buy crypto with… Mastercard. Shit.

I mean a reasonable solution would be to just move to a different bank that provides Visa instead of MasterCard
Is visa not also part of the problem?
Probably, but I don’t know of any others in America and Mastercard is the one currently under fire
Crypto might be a good thing overall if it wasn’t infested with tech bro’s and other scum
