    There are payment processors that will work with these companies, they just charge more because of frequent chargebacks and legal risks. If a porn company found a way to solve these issues, they might not have such troubles, but that’s obviously not really feasible

      I wonder how long after the purchase most of those porn related chargebacks happen. I suspect that, for video content, it wouldn’t take more than a couple of hours, as the post-orgasmic regret kicks in hard.

        Sometimes their spouse sees the bill, and they deny that they made the order so hard that they actually go through with making a chargeback for a purchase they know they made

          Also, teens get ahold of their parent’s credit card, and “totally swear” that they never purchased anything with it.

      Yes. Porn has a lot of chargebacks. It is a “business of regretful purchases”, lol.

      People think that purchases won’t show up on their bill, but when it does, they lie about it, and try to get it reversed.
