I'll finish the pieces but i wont send

Carson (@CarsonTalkMoney) reported@WillBiddy_ @visheshbajpai13 You got some diamond hands hold for holding $PYPL, even their last report was rough IMO I didn't look much into, but expenses growing more than revenue is terrible ( especially for a company like PayPal)

Hunts💎 (@Hunterskingz) reportedIs AI replacing human's workforce? The crypto and payment world is seeing a wave of massive layoffs, and many CEOs are pointing the finger at "AI transition" as the reason. Since Block cut its staff in half earlier this year, big names like Coinbase, PayPal, and Gemini have all followed suit, claiming they need to become "lean" and "AI-native." PayPal, for instance, plans to cut 20% of its team to save $1.5 billion, while 0G Labs recently let go of a quarter of its workers. However, many experts aren't buying the AI excuse. They call it "AI washing", using tech buzzwords to hide basic business struggles. The reality is that #Bitcoin is down significantly from its recent peak, trading is slow, and competition is fierce. Companies like Block simply hired too many people during the boom years, and now they are forced to trim the fat. Investors are reacting with mixed feelings: Block’s stock jumped 38% after their announcement. PayPal saw a 12% dip. Coinbase shares also slid about 4%. Whether these cuts are truly about high-tech efficiency or just a way to survive a tough market remains to be seen. Shared via CoinEx Creator Program. @CoinExCreators #CoinEx #CoinExCreator

Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.
-
Gavin 🇬🇧🏴 (@Gaviam98) reported@Lucys_Views Yeah I don’t think they’re overly secure. I can’t work out how they got over the 2 step process, as it sends me a sms code to sign in. I changed my password, removed most of my linked cards. Although Tbf once I reported to PayPal, they refunded me every transaction within hours.

Andrew Mason (@_andrewsimon_) reported@OnceRedacted Paypal links. P.O. boxes. How many like to use dollar bills for these types of things? And how many of them would want to shut down the gravy train? You could practically make a living out of this sort of thing!
-
Jess (@Jessn7fy) reported@PayPal My account was permanently limited and my funds are being held for a claimed link to another account with “unresolved issues.” I do have a second account with no unresolved issues on it. I need a manual review and correction of this error Reference ID: PP-L-815348235140

Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) reportedBloomberg: PayPal just mapped out a plan to cut about 20% of its workforce. The cut could remove 4,500+ jobs from a base of about 23,800 employees, with management targeting at least $1.5B in savings over 2-3 years. The company’s problem is not that people stopped paying online, but that more of the valuable checkout layer is being squeezed by Stripe, Adyen, Apple Pay, Klarna, and other payment systems that sit closer to merchants or consumers. PayPal still processes huge volume, but its transaction margin dollars, the money left after processing costs, are expected to slightly decline this year, which means growth in payment activity is not cleanly turning into better profit. New CEO Enrique Lores is basically saying PayPal became too heavy, too complex, and too slow to execute, so the turnaround starts with fewer layers, lower costs, and more spending on modernizing the tech stack. --- bloomberg. com/news/articles/2026-05-05/paypal-plans-job-cuts-as-fintech-s-new-ceo-pursues-turnaround-strategy

Believer (@GinaP1forChrist) reported@Venmo Your app is not allowing me to put in my deposits to verify my bank account, not allowing me to add a new debit card! Customer service is poor and could not help at all! Terrible! @paypal @venmo
-
Johnny Chaos (@ccfxstudios) reportedSure except the part where stables have admin keys and they can be frozen or disabled with no notice. Crypto space is broken when they think that's what crypto is. Where is the freedom? Want to send dollars we have that, PayPal, venmo, and cash app. You can do all that from your phone as well.
