I’ve always been curious why so many people talk about ChatGPT Plus—aren’t they just running into payment verification issues?
I used to use Team for free, now I’m using Plus for free, and over the past two years, I’ve only ever had trouble with payment verification. When one card doesn’t work, I just switch to another and keep going. Each one lasts for a full month, and I haven’t really run into any other problems. So why do so many people post all kinds of “show-off” threads?
Is it really that easy to link a card? 
There are more people now; it’s not like in the old days when almost everyone could use things for free. Back then, very few people were getting into AI, and we were self-sufficient.
OP too young too simple
Because everyone just wants to get it for free.
I’ve used it for free for two years and didn’t find anything special about it, so I’m curious why so many people are posting.
Yes
It used to be pretty easy to link a card with team, but after the crackdown, team just disappeared. Linking a card became a real hurdle. If you have a card and home internet, it’s not a big deal, but if you don’t, you’re out of luck. You make it sound easy, but that’s only because you have a card and clean nodes at hand.
If you haven’t suffered what others have, don’t think they’re foolish. 
Aren’t you just showing off like this? 
You’re being so humblebrag!
That’s amazing!
You really are so knowledgeable and eloquent—everything you say is insightful! 
There are channels available.
Bro, make a few of them so people in the community can try them out.
Looking for clean nodes
So how do you get the card?
Please help me out, boss. I’m only using it for personal use.
For proxy nodes, you can just keep an eye on the forum for the redemption codes people post.
I don’t recommend using domestic direct-connect proxy addresses—they tend to die. It’s best to route them through a dirty Clash node first.
