Came here to say exactly this.

I'd trust the piracy sites more actually. We don't voluntarily give them our credit card and address.

Useful services like Real Debrid need a credit card, but nothing a virtual card (from Privacy.com or similar) can't solve. I think there's other ways to pay too.

Also, I'm pretty sure this ad is targeting IPTV services, which are almost all paid services. There's a big IPTV crackdown underway in several European countries at the moment.
