I discovered this by accident. It may not work 100% of the time.
If you create a patreon account using a simplelogin alias, patreon will automatically flag it as suspicious after a few minutes and delete the account.
This means you can make an account. Purchase whatever you wanted and wait. The account will be deleted as suspicious and the money is automatically refunded.
I don’t think money is automatic refunded on account deletions. Also, if you’re registering your card on multiple accounts, it will get flagged. One thing every service is good at is handling payment info.
Unless you have proof charges were automatically reversed.
But again, it would theoretically work one time.
would be interesting to automate this and archive content to https://kemono.su/
there’s also https://kemono.su/ (fair warning, lots of vaguely horni anime art) which archives tons of patreons/other similar services. doesn’t seem to work with patreon-hosted videos or podcasts if I recall correctly, but definitely works with other posts/images
