Yes it’s a real problem! And the solutions are very limited from the purely legal side! But this experienced lawyer has some tricks in my back-pocket. See the suggestions I made in the article.
Theoretically the parties can both act unreasonably as you have presented! But that scenario is really unlikely! This is where looking at the full business dynamics really helps. Stipe is not happy to penalise its own customers! They don’t want to lose business!
And on the Subscriber side? Also there it’s a really unlikely scenario! They claim fraud once -> then the subscription ends. They can’t cause trouble to the same person twice (unless they have multiple publications)
A Subscriber doesn’t stand to gain any money from filing multiple claims… they stand to lose precious time getting involved with this … for little gain except access to premium content. And such an account would be immediately flagged with Substack.
