It's already illegal to enforce non-compete agreements in California. So more like "remaining 48 states" :)

As someone who has used Stripe over the past 5 years for large scale e-commerce and marketplace startups Stripe has dropped the ball quite significantly over the past two or so years. Their customer support has gotten worst, their communication to customers has faltered quite a bit and they're starting to nickel and dime their customers for basic features (like support that responds within a day or two).

I wouldn't go as far as to say they've fallen to the "bean counters" but they definitely aren't as customer obsessed as they have been in the past and quite a few gaps in their armor are becoming obvious.
