alt Hacker NewsStripe is a pain in the ass as a buyer, so I really hope they won't be able to acquire competitors and become a de facto monopoly.
For example, when you're traveling abroad and can't buy a service online with your card, you can be 95% sure that Stripe is the payment processor.

Yeah, but PayPal is an even bigger pain.

Stripe is also sending me emails with an unsubscribe button that requires me to authenticate. So they’re a pain as a user as well.

Except in Australia, where it barely had 30% saturation, compared to Square’s 60%?
Maybe true but I’ve never had a worse experience than I have with PayPal, truly an awful company
