Someone Inpoway (@Cobra92064) reported@VenmoSupport Venmo and PayPal are nothing but rip-offs fraudsters, and they need to be taken down. I don't give a **** Who does it? I hope a hacker does it. That would be so f****** awesome.

Vidyut (@Vidyut) reportedHard to believe govt can't shut down online betting, when it controls every transaction. You can't even maintain a balance on PayPal or use it immediately to make payments if you're Indian. The money transfers immediately to a bank. Somebody is earning from letting these sites operate.

GenZ Investor (@investingbyGenZ) reported$PYPL has quietly climbed back into the 50s, and the PayPal Beyond 2026 event last week in San Francisco is a big reason sentiment has stabilized. - Earlier this year, PayPal got hit hard: weak 2026 guide, CEO exit, and the previous 2027 growth targets (8–10% branded checkout TPV, 7–9% TM$) were scrapped after a sharp Q4 miss. At the lows around $40, the stock was pricing in something close to a broken business. - At Beyond 2026, new CEO Enrique Lores used his first big stage to reset the story: focus on operational efficiency, AI‑driven innovation, deeper partnerships, and doubling down on commerce infrastructure that keeps merchants in control while opening them up to the full PayPal + Venmo consumer base. - The recent product moves fit neatly into that narrative: - Canva integration – PayPal Payment Links embedded directly into Canva, plugging PayPal, Venmo and Pay Later into the fast‑growing social/creator commerce layer. - Venmo going global – Venmo users can now transact with PayPal accounts across 90 markets, with international fees waived for a launch period, plus more push on debit, checkout and rewards. My view: the move back into the 50s feels more like a rerating from “doomsday” levels than a reaction to some explosive new growth story. PayPal hasn’t shown anything at Beyond or in the recent news that would make me believe in a sudden growth acceleration – no new flashy multi‑year targets, just a more disciplined, execution‑focused message. At the same time, between Beyond 2026, the Canva partnership and the Venmo globalization, it’s increasingly clear that their core position is stable and they have real levers to pull beyond 2026 if Lores executes. So I read this as the market moving from “priced for disaster” to “priced for a solid, mature payments franchise with some optionality,” rather than the start of a new hyper‑growth chapter.

Adelaja Samuel (@psammy0023) reported@SakurasCardShop That’s exactly why platforms like Cleva stand out. With Cleva, you get a proper USD account, so you avoid those crazy international bank charges and terrible PayPal conversion rates. Instead of losing money on hidden fees, you receive payments faster, enjoy better exchange rates.

king ra (@kingra24241821) reported@JumpyFeller @The_Real_Lord33 Like even before that bullshit with Patreon, Paypal (which artists use for commissions) was (and still is) anti-porn. If Paypal found out you did NSFW art then there would be issues from them freezing your account and keeping YOUR money. Genuinely a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Position Journal (@PositionJournal) reported@arbel_amir The thing with Pinterest is, the product is fantastic, the user growth is consistent (10 straight quarters) and they have a meaningful differentiator with their 80B monthly queries across images. The issue is management, I did not expect Bill, who came as COO of PayPal and founder of Venmo, to be so reactive. The issues he laid out in the call are all rudimentary issues (losing big advertisers) and his reaction of hiring more sales team and upping the GTM strategy is something that could have been done months prior and not just in Q1'26.

Richard Echols Jr (@RichardEcholsJ1) reportedI am trying to figure out how that sick bastard got my Cash App, Apple Pay, and PayPal accounts shut down 🤔 Given the global scope and operations of these companies, it appears that the individual responsible would need to possess considerable authority, potentially akin to a high-ranking official or judge, like one of the toes in Daniel chapter 2:41-43, or a horn in Revelation 13:1-10 or a king in Revelation 17:12
