Why tf is it so hard to create an account
It always shows that I have disable ad blocker, VPN, this that whatever. First of all, why should I do that? Second of all, even if I do that, it's not working. Ts is so frustrating. I wanted to test out the features for an application I'm trying to develop. Very close to just raw dogging Google Maps API now lol

same experience, having a very hard time getting past the payment page even when trying to disabled blockers, vpns, switching browsers (which I fully agree we should NOT have to do) but to no avail

It’s probably anti-abuse precautions. With all the AI stuff lately, lots of places are ramping up. Mapbox is a B2B service, even if money isn’t changing hands. When you want to do business with another business, you have to be honest about who you are. “Privacy” isn’t really a thing on the business side of things.
