As I understand it, they cancelled him for NSFW content.

Whether it's 5% or 0.05%, if it is in Stripe's terms that you can't, there's nothing he can do, right?

> We understand that your business may be legal, but for now, due to various reasons including requirements that apply to Stripe as a payment processor, requirements from our financial partners, and the potential risk exposure to Stripe, we're currently not able to work with businesses that sell or offer adult content or services.

Doesn't seem like much of a story.

Kagi now lets you pay with Bitcoin or Lightning.

This way you are not depending on a 3rd party payment processor.

Not really my point. My point is that it's weird that payment processors ban NSFW content from AI companions
