I can not answer your pressing question. However from what I've read from accounts here over a long while, Stripe has not randomly closed accounts down. There are usually reasons, and for some asking, it's resolved. The rest

That's a tight subset, and I couldn't even guess what their browsing habits might be. However I could guess a savvy user has their firewall rules set sufficiently, disallowed a bunch of api scraping sites and may have installed ad
