Our cat gets fed small amounts 4x a day for the same reason. You feed him and 15 minutes later he’s begging for more food. I’ve been working on extinguishing begging behavior by fucking with him relentlessly. He comes over to beg, and I act like I’m walking to the kitchen, then at the last second veer off to the bathroom. Or I will walk to the kitchen and pretend I’m going to open the cupboard where his food is, only to veer off at the last second and open the glass cupboard and just get a drink of water instead. Usually after 15 - 30 minutes of trolling him, he stops begging and goes back to napping.
I sort of think that the only way to make visa/mastercard reverse course is to boycott the fuck out of them. Go back to using cash to make EVERY purchase. Purchase physical copies of games every time with cash. (I’ve been able to link games to my steam account purchased this way.) No longer buy skins and loot crates, and battle passes. Same goes with media. Go back to hard CDs for music/movies. Starve them of income any place you can, which would fuck with the business models of so many other companies that want your debit and cc on file for streaming services and subscriptions.
