> kinda wild that alibaba of all companies is making it hard to give them money tho

Okay so this is entirely off topic but, are there any options to subscribe to these companies without having a credit card? (I am Brazilian if this makes a difference)

It's kind of wild that a Chinese AI lab will require something like.. a credit card with visa or mastercard label, and very little else.

I’d imagine credit card is the easiest way and globally more universal. Deepseek for example allows for credit cards but also PayPal. You can also pay with Alipay and WeChat pay if you want to use RMB.
