Re:Shopify says remove Stripe billing or get booted from their app store

I've used Shopify a few times and it's clear they're trying to be an Apple for e e-commerce. Slick and easy set up with strong lock in and high fees.
As a result, I'll advise clients to use Shopify for a POC perhaps but then to put money aside to build their own system when they gain some traction. And I'm starting to wonder if there's a market for someone to build the Android equivalent of Shopify because this pisses me off royally. Especially when non-US customers pay the same fees but have less features for some unknown reason.

Incredible to hear this accent but also the fact that it's completely clear and comprehensible, if different sounding, than the modern Parisian accent!

Korea is a highly hierarchical, relationship-driven society on top of the extreme competition. It's increasingly a place where you need the perfect marks + the right family background + some starting money to get anywhere.
In practice, it's almost impossible to really climb in society and unfortunately this situation is describing more and more the US as well...
