why is this a tracking link.

so stripe can bucket the traffic that comes from this submission.

Can't they just look at the referrer?

It lets them identify clicks specifically from the post link as opposed to links in the HN discussion thread.

Can't they see the path in the referrer URL? Wouldn't that differentiate which page on HN referred the visitor?

https doesn't pass the referrer
