Oh FFS.
WHY?!
Do they want more scams? Do they get extra revenue and engagement from scams?
They get extra revenue from sales. If they're scams, well that's okay too, as long as they get a cut.
They're not scams, they're surprise purchases
Sending requests to all of my contacts to pay for my slutty skins microtransactions as soon as this releases globally 💋
My friends can bug me all they want as I have disabled notifications.
My friends can't bug me even if they want because I don't have a Google account 😀
Yas queen, way to go
You can go next step, not have Google Play on your phone

Is that new? My play store country is set to India (so I can buy stuff dirt cheap) and that feature has been there as long as I remember.
That is answered in the second paragraph
Indeed. I must have overlooked it, I actually read articles.
How do people use the feature? Since I can't think of a case where I would use this, aside from a child wanting to buy something without the parent needing to put their credit card details on the kid's device
No idea really, I'm not Indian.
Ha! Jokes on you google, I don't have any friends......
Don't worry, soon you'll have a lot! All asking you to pay for something!
Hahahah good luck with that, I'm poor as fuck.
It's not about the money, it's about the wonderful experience of hundreds of payment requests from random users.
Can I reply back?
Only with money, so no I guess. :(
That's probably a good thing, I'd be calling them all poor cunts every time they requested money.
Ha! Speaking as a poor cunt myself, I do not see the problem with that...
I'm going to spam requests to Tim Apple & Elongated Musk
