In the USA, if you "subscribe" to something, that is a promise to pay on the regular, until you cancel or unsubscribe. It's not a "single purchase".
If you cancel your card, or use a virtual one that's immediately invalidated, the service will have every right to come after you, and bill you for subsequent installments. You will run up a bill. You can choose not to pay it, but you cannot say that you don't owe it, because you agreed to pay the bills in perpetuity until cancellation.
I have no idea why people claim this, and think that playing a shell game with their finances will stop it.
