> More disconcerting, it seems that anyone who posts about this issue on reddit gets downvoted and teamed up against by established Reddit accounts, that I have to imagine are owned by Stripe. These account have some established reddit history on them, mainly talking about coding in PERL. It's a little sus.

I too am a little suspicious of anyone who codes in PERL

Their dev support on discord is S-tier, but every now and then some issue has to be moved to email support; where it dies. It always takes months for something to be resolved, if at all.

My only consolation is that every other provider is just as terrible.

This is also a red flag

I've definitely never encountered many automated responses to their e-mail support. Definitely I've hit support people who don't know much beyond basic troubleshooting, and it's pretty much impossible to get escalated to the point where you're talking directly to a dev through support@, but generally not canned responses.

(That might be based on our usage maybe, we're a OK sized Connect partner)

Stripe is developer centric. Discord has a lot of developers in their community.

I don't really like Discord, but i must admit it is a smart choice.
