If you were an employee at a typical startup, would you be able to tell the difference? Because leadership is never _that_ transparent with the rank-and-file around these kinds of things. I've seen it happen (thankfully never to me) - over and over again they would say "whoops, it will be there next week". Two months later people - one by one - just stop showing up...

That's the kind of delay one expects from reading the headline and why it is clickbait. In actually the payouts are already on their way via JP Morgan Chase and will have arrived by Monday for everyone.
I dunno. I've seen management be sketchy on transparency before. But when it comes to people's money getting into their hands, I've actually never had management do the "whoops, it will be there next week" thing. It's always been straight forward with what happened and with expectations. Which makes sense, as you said, people won't show up if they don't get there money.
It's all circumstantial anyway. I don't think it's fair to call this a case of a "typical startup". Although it's definitely a stereotype of startups.
