I used to use the prepaid approach a lot, but recently it seems like some companies are rejecting them. Mainly seeing it happen with subscription based services.
Comment on Privacy services and non privacy payments options

Crypto isn’t as private as you might think.
But I do agree with what you’re saying.
Using a prepaid credit card, which was paid for using cash, is probably your best bet.

That’s crazy. Don’t they want money? LOL

Yeah, that’s true for most of them, they all are basically useless. It’s only worth to use private crypto, like Monero, that is designed actually with privacy in mind.

In my country it isn’t an option. I can only use virtual revolut prepaid or gift cards.

Bitcoin isn’t private. Monero should be what you use for anonymous/private payments.

I know of Monero, but haven’t used it. How are funds added to the Monero account?

This sounds crazy complex for most people.
Cash -> Prepaid credit card (all still real money) is best, with the caveat that it may not be accepted everywhere. But then again, Monero is hardly accepted anywhere.
