十べえ (@shimipan) reported@Ottery_FP I never want to use PayPal again. By what right do they steal other people's assets? The fact that no one from headquarters is responding, and the customer support staff are just trying to brush me off over the phone, is absolutely terrible.🥲🥲

Timothy (@TimothyBuffett) reported@davidsenra Snaps biggest problem is @evanspiegel ideaologies and woke culture. It is really obvious. He honestly needs to be fired to learn. He needs an Elon kicked out of PayPal or jobs kick out of apple or something so he can learn.

Victim Tee (@HomeInvasionCop) reported@AnthonySabatini I'm liking Mr Donald's less and less but he is allowed to trade stock and basically legally insider-trade being immune from insider trading laws as a US Member of Congress? What rule is he broken by trading PayPal stock and disclosing it?

villin 🇨🇦 (@villined) reported@H2gofrost @AskPayPal No problem man I went through the same thing.. You can keep trying, I've heard that sometimes it can get lifted. But generally the most they usually do is screw us over and say "It's not a mistake." They don't like to admit they're wrong.

Rajith Attapattu (@rajith_a) reported@ashoKumar89 I don't get the kubernetes hate. The decision to use k8s has nothing to do with the number of users, traffic or complexity of your application architecture. YouTube ran fine on VMs, so did PayPal, Google and other planet scale apps. Kubernetes evolve to solve the complexity of managing a pool of VMs and the associated operational overhead and it solves that problem elegantly.

Chirag (@ChiragLathiya) reportedI used to think Stripe won because they built a better payments infrastructure. That’s not what actually happened. When Stripe started, payments were already “solved” in the traditional sense. - PayPal existed - Banks had their own systems - Payment gateways were widely available If you were a business, you could accept payments. But if you were a developer trying to integrate them, it was a different story. The process was frustrating. Documentation was unclear. APIs were inconsistent. Setting up even a basic flow could take days, sometimes weeks. Every integration felt like stitching together systems that were never designed to work smoothly. The problem was not availability. It was usability. Stripe focused on something that looked small from the outside but was fundamental in practice. They made the API clean and predictable. Accepting payments took a few lines of code. The documentation was structured. The developer experience was consistent. They did not change the underlying financial system. They changed how developers interacted with it. This had a compounding effect. Developers started choosing Stripe not because it had more features, but because it was easier to start with. That initial decision shaped everything that followed. - easier integration → faster adoption - faster adoption → more businesses onboarded - more businesses → more volume and feedback - more volume → better product over time What looked like a small improvement at the entry point became a long-term advantage. Stripe did not win by introducing something entirely new. They won by removing friction at the first step and making the default choice obvious. In many markets, the product that is easiest to start with is the one that scales the fastest. The entry experience is not a detail. It is often the decision point that determines the winner.

Jack — building TallyBoard (@TallyBoardhq) reportedTalked to a creator yesterday who pulled $11K last month. they doesn't know how much she actually kept. Not because she's bad at math. Because their income came from 6 different places and her expenses are spread across 3 cards and a PayPal account she forgot the password to. This is the actual problem. Not "creators are bad with money." It's that the money is everywhere and the tools are nowhere.

boyacaxa 🥪 #Bitcoin CTV / CSFS / LNHANCE NOW!! (@boyacaxa) reported@ProofOfCash @lightning This is where the problem is. The gigantic gap between what a Dev and a normie think is so simple and easy. Do you agree lightning is almost exclusive used with PayPal clones?

Kris Lindsey (@KRISCODY) reportedPaypal denied my claim stating a reason that has nothing to do with my issue. NEVER again will I use paypal. @PayPal @AskPayPal Paypal did NOT take care of the customer in my case so BEWARE when using Paypal.

Shae🍪 (@UbaeShae) reported@JuriJin_vt @Vixsial The other crazy thing I remember was him needing to use multiple PayPal accounts cause he would have “issues”. He even used his cousin’s account and apparently she wasn’t aware of what it was for. Then she was scared cause she was getting threats on his behalf, so the admin
