Stripe is not at any risk of having services cut by payment processors. They can leverage an excellent case against them if so. It's time they and the others get together and dunk on Mastercard before they decide to eat the whole pie.

Go work in payments a while and get a clue. They are constantly at risk from the card networks, banks, regulators.
Have worked in payments for over 25 years. Yes it's complex. But with the charge rates and volume they absolutely can do better. And no my business not violate the ToS. It was considered high risk due to high value of transactions despite exceptional contracts, client signoff forms etc.
High risk is explicitly covered in the TOS.
Then time for them to group up and change the game. Not going to make excuses for corps. It's their responsibility to push, not mine to apologize for them.
The game is working out well for them. Why would they want to change it? What's next? Lebron should push for rule changes that make it easier for short guys?
Advocating against yourself.
Nope, you just don't understand the situation at all.
Change doesn't come from placation of an existing system.
