The author got their point across - I understand the author is frustrated with Stripes business practices. However, the author fails to get me to agree with their view, in part because of the poor taste comparison of Stripe to record industry executives. The author tries to keep the record exec comparison to the record industry's fiscal stranglehold over artists, but as a reader all I think about are the stories that have come out from the girls that were physically taken advantage of by those execs. It feels like a dog whistle, and in my opinion discredits the rest of the argument.
