It’s not the $1, it’s the identity linked to the charge. So now they can be blocked as well as traced back to the funding account.

I once was in a charity sponsored therapy group and they had a $10 fee. I was annoyed as this was a pretty wealthy organization and the fee seemed discriminatory, or at least a hassle. I learned that it was just there to validate each participant.

So I think this is just a filter to help reduce bot spam.
