I legitimately do not understand how other people deal with #Stripe I had to explain to them 5 times now that,
1. I am a writer.
2. I publish things on my blog, some premium, but most, open access.
3. I publish exclusive newsletters via email where people get charged when I send an email, #Patreon style.
And every single time, they can't figure me out or what I do. I guess my stuff has to be behind a hard paywall for them to get it? Trouble is, places like Liberapay and Comradery use them so I can't just throw up my hands and say, whatever.
These are their requests, in order.
1. Could you explain the nature of your business? Your blog isn't behind a pay wall.
2. Could you explain accessibility consulting? This isn't in our recognized list of services provided.
3. Could you explain your charity status?
I never claimed to be a charity so this last one baffles me.
and finally, the one I am on now,
Could you explain more about your writing?
I really do wanna scream. How hard is it to comprehend my accessibility tutorials? Ugh!
