A comment on Stripe is wrongly suspending accounts. Parent comment
I didn't say "they deserve to fail"... I said karma will happen. Deserve or not? If you don't have "insurance" then you'll pay eventually.
If you don't have backups? Good luck when the Cyrpo Locker hits. if you don't have redundant hard drives? Good luck when the click of doom hits you.
If you only have one payment processor who is known to randomly lock accounts without recourse? Then it's a matter of time until it happens to you.
I do get that shortcuts have to be made when starting... but those short cuts don't sidestep reality.
