"Stripe is Silently" - can I just say how much I detest clickbait with "silently" in the title? It is purposefully negative, meant to make Stripe look bad. What did you want? A foghorn?

Also:

`The Stripe library generates a new request like this every time a user views a new page in my app.`

In "your" app! How do you not know all the side effects you dependencies may have when before adding them? What else is going in that site, Michael?

Ok, we've abandoned silence in the title above. I think that's redundant anyhow.

I also took out "your". That's a standard moderation trick since second-person pronouns in titles tend also to be clickbait: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Thanks! I'll be mindful of this in future submissions.
