  @a_street_sign @Tony_Baloney69 It was multiple different websites/apps though. Steam, paypal, etsy etc. Superrrrr strange to not even get a single alert from any of them about a login attempt or code request. 2FA isn't something I deal with a whole lot for what I do so maybe I'm just too uneducated on how it all works lol.

  The first PayPal alert he ever got was $12. He screenshotted it four times. Sent it to nobody. Just sat in the dark at 1:47am in his family house, phone brightness all the way down so his parents wouldn't see the light under the door. That amount was not serious money at that time. But he sat there for a long time. Because he had just proved something to himself that nobody could take back. The first online payment doesn't feel like money. It feels like permission.

  @CryptoTice_ Same institutions that fought PayPal. Fought Venmo. Fought every financial innovation that threatened deposits. They slowed all of them down. They never stopped any of them permanently. The vote might get delayed. The direction does not change.

  @AskPayPal Good day, I've registered an account several times, but my account can't receive funds, even though I'm from Ukraine. Please help me figure out how to fix this. My card has been verified.

  My PayPal account got permanently deactivated after I submitted my remaining documents to claim some funds that just came in? Is there any way to fix this?

  $COIN just cut 700 employees. 14% of the company. Gone. The CEO says AI layoffs are coming to "every company." Not someday. Now. Coinbase is replacing managers with "player-coaches" and building one-person AI teams that do the work of entire departments. They're calling them "AI-native pods." One person directing AI agents that handle engineering, design, and product management. Entire teams replaced by one person and a prompt. $50-60 million in severance charges hitting Q2. Stock went up on the news. Revenue is fine. They just don't need the people anymore. This isn't a Coinbase problem. Cloudflare cut 1,100 the same week. PayPal cut 4,500. All citing AI. All posting record revenue. The pattern is getting loud. 👀

  $IBM, $SHOP - AI is not replacing workers equally. It is exposing CEOs. The lazy read is that AI means fewer workers, better margins, cleaner earnings stories. The sharper read is that AI is becoming a leadership philosophy. Two very different playbooks Coinbase is cutting roughly 14% of its workforce as Brian Armstrong pushes the company toward a leaner, faster, AI-native structure. PayPal is reportedly planning to reduce staff by around 20% over the next two to three years while targeting at least $1.5B in savings under its turnaround plan. That is the first AI playbook: take the productivity gain and immediately convert it into headcount reduction. It can work, especially when the company is bloated, margins are under pressure, or investors have lost patience. But it also tells you something about how management sees the business. AI becomes a weapon against cost, not a tool for expanding ambition. The other side of the trade Axon and Spotify are taking the more interesting route. Axon’s message to employees was basically: AI lets teams do more, not disappear. Spotify’s Gustav Söderström framed the choice cleanly: cut people to harvest savings now, or keep headcount roughly flat and ship more value. That second path is less obvious to screeners because it does not instantly show up as a layoff headline or a clean margin bridge. But over time, it may be the stronger operating model. Same team, more output. Same payroll, faster product velocity. Same talent base, larger problem set. That is not softness. That is leverage. The IBM point matters IBM’s Nickle LaMoreaux has been pushing the right question: are companies moving from “AI to productivity” toward “AI to growth”? That is the whole debate. Productivity is the first-order gain. Growth is the second-order test. Even Gartner is warning that AI-related workforce reductions may create budget room without necessarily delivering returns. Markets love the clean story of fewer employees and higher near-term margins. But the better companies may be the ones that use AI to compound capability before they rush to shrink the org chart. Bottom line: AI is not just changing labor costs. It is revealing which CEOs are managing for a margin headline, and which ones are building a higher-output company.

  Holy ****!! The PayPal mafia in action…and apparently in control. How are we ever going to bring them down?

  The ko-fi/paypal issue has been solved!

  @KWinfosecMafia Pros: Bypasses your bank issues completely—spends directly from PayPal balance. Free to get, acts like any debit card on Amazon, quick virtual option available. Cons: No credit float (debit only), must fund PayPal first if balance is low, daily spending limits apply, and it won't fix Amazon's retry loop on the original card. Still hit Amazon chat to kill the emails at the source.

  Jenna Ryan (@realjennaryan) reported 33 minutes ago

  Ryan 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

  @PramilaJayapal How did immigration/immigrants happen, Paypal? On your big, fat scheming watch. This is on you, so do something to fix it. You opened the borders intentionally to do exactly what you are trying to do. Trying to flip the switch, are ya? Shocker. This is on you. ****** plan for votes. Mass immigration is warfare on the United States of America and you don't give a sh*t. Gross, manipulative, insulting boondoggle.
