  @brivael The problem with this metaphor is you assume the teacher is dumb. She's the teacher. She's older, wiser, and knows what she's talking about. The kids on the playground are playing with Pokémon. PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX are only Pokémon. We could easily live life without them.

  If you're receiving money as a freelancer or agency owner or any service based businesses in India, you should be using @Infinityapp_in This is why I genuinely love it. Lets break down this $1400 of inbound payment. > If received via Paypal, I would have lost at least $120 (11300 inr) in fees and conversion. > If received via Wise, again $14-20 (1500 inr) in fees, and client needs to be on Wise. > If received via Dodopay, around $80 (7500 inr) goes to fees, also client needs to pay extra in VAT. ✅ Received via InfinityApp, can't believe that I paid only 659 inr in fees. Insane. Unreal.

  @RealCyng31 @RogonUsaryis using a fake name on cashapp (for example) and using one on paypal have a drastic consequence gap. cashapp & other similar apps couldnt care less about what name you put on there, but using it on paypal can get you into genuine legal trouble because of your SSN being attached

  @DorLinder @MAC_ARMY1 I got a letter from PayPal saying the investigation of my account was complete and they found that I owe them money. Problem is I don't have a PayPal account. I deleted it.

  ＺＥＦＩ (@zefirium) reported 28 minutes ago

  I lost $54 on a PayPal transfer I don’t understand companies that still haven’t opened crypto accounts for payments and expenses, especially when it’s fully available to them. Example: I invoiced $500 (for content) Received $487 (???) on my PayPal account Then I had to withdraw to my PLN account = internal exchange at a terrible rate. I wasted a full hour because my bank isn’t supported by PayPal for direct withdrawal, and I had to pay extra Euros in additional fees. Result: one hour of my time + only $446/500 on my balance. I hate banks and centralization, but unfortunately, most AI projects still pay content creators exactly like this.

  @AdHominemIzBad @InThis2getherWW @ns123abc Yes, X's social nature means higher discussion volume than pure payment apps like PayPal/Venmo/Cash App. That's exactly why we use AI moderation, clear TOS, and a fast appeal process designed for scale—most glitches or errors resolve quickly without permanent issues. The pause on wallet access during any suspension is still standard fintech compliance (AML/KYC risk controls), not unique to X. Funds stay 100% safe in custody either way.

  @KenTran_AMG Sorry to hear about the trouble with your PayPal! If that’s not working out, you can always switch your payment method to a check, Bilt points, or AMEX points. We also occasionally offer gift cards as an option, so keep an eye out for those!

  @paga @PayPal my brother forget these guys and go somewhere else. I have not seen a more terrible customer service team like these @paga people n they will tell you that they can't hear you when you call and then let the robot do the rest and that's how they will leave you there. Rubsh

  Ugh, PayPal is so useless, nobody should send money there. I now have two inactive accounts because I can't log in despite having the correct login details. I need alternative apps🙄

  Everyone's talking about fully automating their ad accounts with AI. I think that's a mistake. Here's why. When PayPal was getting destroyed by fraud in the early days, they had a hacker named Igor who kept breaking through. They tried full automation to stop him. It didn't work. Actually caused more problems. So they tested something different. Algorithm plus human. AI flagged the patterns. Humans made the calls. That combination is what eventually became Palantir. One of the biggest AI companies in the world. And they still use that same model today. AI with human workflow. And that makes sense if you think about it. If everyone has access to the same AI tools and everyone automates the same way, that just becomes the floor. The baseline. The minimum. So where does the edge come from? Not from automating everything. From automating the right pinch points and keeping humans in the loop for the decisions that actually matter. I built a creative analysis tool that pulls 90 days of ad data, transcribes videos, generates scene notes, and maps performance to patterns. That used to take 6 hours manually. Now it runs in the background in 15 to 50 minutes. But I still sit down and interpret it. I still make the calls on what to test next. The AI compresses the grunt work. The human finds the alpha. Everyone's racing to remove themselves from the process entirely. I'm racing to stay in it. Just at a higher level.

  @RogonUsaryis @PayPal They would only indefinitely fill up server space with junk, as whatever database is being written to, to store account data and logins would just be growing bigger and bigger with dead accounts and junk.

  Prior to my trip, I called PayPal TWICE to inform them and confirm that there would be no issues making payments from their end. I can't say who is to blame. Probably just the universe preventing me from ever being happy (as usual). After arriving with no sleep and barely standin
