Mike Wheeler (@EdgeLordWheeler) reported@GenuineComics A long time ago we had a problem with stripe crowdfunding was really new and they did not support crowdfunding at all. So they canceled the merchant account for it. So I say hey you know what I'll use PayPal. All the creators that were on it including Larry Higgins, you know the crazy ******* Canada guy that does Nyobi? Well they decided that that was a scam and all started attacking us for no reason. So I said **** it pulled the plug and deleted the site. 6 months later fund my comic launched. I've given Luke Stone two or three years now to actually do something and make his site better and he hasn't. That's because he can't. He doesn't own his code He leases it It's like a WordPress plugin. And yes fun my comic is a WordPress site. It's not built on the right architecture after it gets big enough it will fail and just stop ******* working. So I said you know what I'm going to bring it back and I put in all the latest technology and now here we are.

Raimon (@raimonvibe) reportedAs a beginner Nigerian dev, here’s the simple truth: PayPal won’t work for receiving money or paying many international services from Nigeria. The fix is getting a domiciliary dollar account with your local bank. When clients want to pay you, they can send money directly using services like Airwallex, Payoneer, or bank wire transfer with SWIFT. Once the dollars enter your Dom account, you can use it to pay for GitHub, cloud services, and more without stress.

UCFacts ✌🏽A Gritty Inclusive UnderDog Culture (@Facts_UCF) reportedtwo major sponsors on behalf of the Big 12, generating roughly $100 million in new revenue that flows down to the schools. The marquee partnership is with PayPal, a deal that includes on-field logos, co-branded credit cards for the conference...and a Venmo system to deliver NIL payments to athletes.

Goran Stojcic (@GanSic966) reported@HedgeFundTips The reason I invested in PayPal was due to their entrenched position in Europe, predicated on the idea that Apple Pay’s threat is neutralized by Android’s regional dominance. This, I am afraid is no longer the case. Google Pay is rapidly scaling across Europe, presenting an equally formidable, native operating system threat. Consequently, PayPal’s core branded checkout business is on highly unstable footing. We tend to underestimate the non-linear velocity of consumer behavior. While the shift from writing checks to swiping credit cards lasted couple of decades, the current migration from cards to native digital wallets (smartphones, wearables, and biometric authentication) is occurring at an exponential pace. In an ecosystem dominated by hardware-level convenience, PayPal lacks a structural moat. This fundamental erosion makes a further multiple compression and market cap drop entirely possible. I see a lot of parallels to Charter Communications (which I've been buying this week and last): despite robust legacy fundamentals and an aggressive, long-term share buyback program, Charter’s stock is down 65% in twelve months (worse than PayPal's 38% decline), and 80% over five years (same as PayPal). Both are down for the same reason - a fear that their core product is facing irreversible terminal decline.

Jenna Ryan (@realjennaryan) reportedRyan v. PayPal - This case is debanking--PayPal shutting down Jenna Ryan’s account on January 21, 2021 after she shared a fundraiser link on Twitter and raised approximately $200. She had used her PayPal account for roughly fifteen years. Less than an hour after closing the account, PayPal’s Director of Reputation, Kim Eichorn, spoke to national media outlets, including CBS News, and stated that Jenna had violated PayPal fundraising policies by raising money for purposes other than legal defense. However, no such “legal-defense-only” restriction existed in the user agreement. #ryanvpaypal Ryan was then cancelled from society.

Jack Clayton Blood (Radiogun) (@JackCBlood) reported@JDVance @RandyRRQuaid You guys have really ramped up the promises this week. The problem being, you entirely failed on the last batch. You may not believe Wall St should have power over main St ... Why are you owned by PayPal Mafia, big oil, and PE? Disappointing.

Hugh Telmi (@YooTellMe) reported@RepKeithSelf I remember that. I also remember that American financial institutions started doing the same thing, most notably PayPal. Maybe instead of stopping something that doesn't exist, you should stop the problems that do, and make all financial seizures illegal.
