  a $43.5M app raised money on Phoebe Gates' name and a cap table full of celebrities. then Bloomberg found it opening hidden tabs at checkout, injecting affiliate codes, claiming commissions it never earned Phia called it a bug. the code said otherwise feature flag: live on iOS where users won't see it, off on Chrome desktop where they would. that's not a bug you patch, that's a design choice you make once you already know what gets caught last-click attribution runs a $13B market. whoever clicks last before payment gets paid, whether they earned it or not. a browser extension sits in the perfect spot to fake that last click on nearly every purchase cookie stuffing used to send people to prison. Shawn Hogan did 5 months for it at eBay. Brian Dunning got 15 months. max sentence runs 20 years under federal wire fraud law eBay jailed a man for this exact scheme. now it just funds it through eBay Ventures on Phia's cap table Honey did the same thing bigger. PayPal owned it, worth $4B, until MegaLag's video showed how it stiffed creators. Chrome lost 6-8 million users. Google banned the practice in March 2025 it hasn't slowed down i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  $PYPL Road to $75-85/share The reason why PayPal is likely going to be asking for a higher premium is from Stripe is because its so undervalued even at todays prices because of its enormous FCF and user reach. Paypal has been discounted by the market because of potential disruption risk in its largest high margin segment, Branded Checkout. But they do have other business lines that are growing at a much faster pace but with lower margins. This means that Paypal overall growth was slowing but not dead. The market focused too much on branded checkout and ignored the other parts of the business that have a lot of value in the hands of a company like Stripe. Stripe is currently valued at almost 160B with gross revenue of about 20B. Not sure what margins they are currently getting but by adding PayPal, they are essentially rationalizing their high growth prospect with instant boost to profitability. This would mean that when they IPO, they will be valued at high profitable growth compounder and comand a significant enterprise value. This is why they were able to get financing from Advant. They can essentially buy the company using short term cash and sell shares at huge mark up during IPO and pay the money while retaining the massive cashflow. They can also strip redundant costs and actually boost FCF by $1B to $2B depending on the level of cuts they are willing to make. Another 1B to 2B from organic growth over the next 5 years and the payoff period could be compressed down to 3-4 years. PayPal is worth at least $75-85 for Stripe. I wonder if another competitor might show up and realize the same thing and try to juice up the bid because it might put them at a disadvantage with the beast that the new Stripe + Paypal would become.

  Soft PPI, Apple at a fresh high, chips sold. Indexes closed green. The split is the real story. $SPX finished +0.38% at 7572. Nasdaq led. Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft all punched higher. BlackRock crushed on earnings and AUM. PayPal exploded on the Stripe/Advent bid talk. Micron got hit hard, semis rolled after the early ASML lift. Soft wholesale prices and the inflation-peak chatter gave the big names the bid while the rest of tech took profit. That dispersion is what most retail desks misread on the train home. Trap it triggers right now: the index looks clean so the day feels earned. You bank the runners early for the hit of relief, then hang onto or average the laggards because “they’ll catch up.” Disposition effect — risk-averse in the green, risk-seeking in the red. Losses register twice as heavy, so you defer the pain. The equity curve of that habit is the slow grind up and the elevator later. Market’s closed. Your review isn’t. DJ already saw the live trade cards and the fills.

  $PYPL now we know who was manipulating the price down so much! Stripe and Advent with their criminal banksters! Better question who (from the competition) wouldnt buy Paypal for 53 billion? Let the bidding war begin…

  In 2010, two Irish brothers founded Stripe to build what PayPal should have been. Yesterday, Stripe offered $53 billion to buy PayPal itself. Together with Advent International, Stripe tabled $60.50 per share - a 28% premium. PayPal jumped 19% on the news. The board hasn't answered yet. Sit with the numbers for a second. In July 2021, PayPal was worth $360 billion. It was the undisputed king of online payments - the company that built the category, the alumni network that produced Musk, Thiel, and half of Silicon Valley's founding class. The "PayPal mafia" became shorthand for tech royalty. This year, its market value touched $36 billion. Ninety percent - gone in under five years. Not because payments shrank. Payments exploded. PayPal lost the decade to faster checkout flows, embedded finance, and a developer-first competitor that simply out-built it. In February, PayPal's market value fell below eBay's - the company it was spun out of in 2015. The child became worth less than the parent it outgrew. And now the offer on the table is $53 billion. Roughly 15 cents on the peak dollar. Here's what makes this bid remarkable beyond the symbolism. Stripe never went public. While PayPal spent a decade being repriced, quarter by quarter, by a market that punished every stumble, Stripe stayed private, took the long view, and compounded quietly. Now the private challenger - teamed with private equity - proposes to take the public pioneer off the market entirely. If that playbook sounds familiar, it should. It's Dell, 2013: a fallen public giant, a buyer convinced the problems are fixable away from the quarterly spotlight, and shareholders being offered a premium to today's price that is also a fraction of yesterday's. Dell's take-private turned $1.8 billion into $15 billion. It's the most profitable tech buyout in history. Whether PayPal has a Dell inside it is the entire question. So if you're a PayPal shareholder, here's your choice: $60.50 in cash - 28% above yesterday, 80% below 2021. Take the money, or bet the turnaround?

  @AskPayPal For those interested here was the resolution after talking to Chat. They said it was an internal Zettle glitch that they are trying to resolve. But they don’t know when, so they will add my case to that ticket. So, no there is no resolution currently.

  @Roinikainen @Takyon @Peregrino1708 The main problem of PayPal is that they don’t really have something different from other competitors. Why chose it now? I had I few years ago because was easy to send money immediately between friends but nowadays you can do the same with a bank (like Revolut). Anyway talking about the acquisition I agree that is bad for PayPal

  $PYPL PayPal — While the reported proposal highlights deep-value interest in PayPal's consumer ecosystem, actual execution remains highly uncertain due to integration complexity and regulatory hurdles, leading analysts to advise against chasing the rally. PayPal shares surged 17% (trading around $55, down from their 2021 all-time high of $310) following reports of a $53 billion buyout proposal. The offer features $50 billion in secured financing, with Stripe and Advent taking equal 50% stakes. The strategic objective is connecting Stripe's merchant-side back-end tech with PayPal's consumer front end, including Venmo and 439 million active users. Wall Street remained skeptical as the stock did not reach the full 28% premium implied by the offer, and analysts at William Blair maintained a "market perform" rating. #Tech #FinTech

  I posted on LN how Meta is being sued by 26 former employees who say the company used AI to choose who to dismiss, selecting people with disabilities and people who had taken medical leave. And a former global intelligence officer for Meta left a comment to say she’s one of the people impacted and is on cancer treatment. 💔 The lawsuit was filed late on Monday in federal court in Oakland, California. The 26 say Meta scored and ranked staff on a termination list using productivity numbers and AI token usage, which counted against anyone absent from work for reasons the law protects. Meta says its workforce decisions were made by people, not AI. Meta said earlier this year it would cut about 10% of its global workforce, nearly 8,000 jobs, starting in May, with more to follow. Since 2022 it has removed tens of thousands of roles and the money is being redirected into AI infrastructure. Unsurprisingly, the integrity, trust and safety teams have been completely gutted, so fewer people now work on content moderation, cybersecurity and safety policy. Companies should use AI to remove human bias from hiring and firing but are using it to collect information about people that has nothing to do with the job. Eightfold AI scores job people from 0 to 5 on their likelihood of success in a role, and applications with a low score are discarded before a recruiter sees the name. Erin Kistler and Sruti Bhaumik sued the company in California in January in a proposed class action. Jenny Yang, the former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is one of the lawyers acting for them. Eightfold's software is used by Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Starbucks and Chevron and more than 100 other employers. The complaint says Eightfold AI builds a hidden profile of each applicant from social media activity, location data, internet and device tracking and cookies, and uses it to judge their behaviour, attitudes, intelligence and aptitude. Its model draws on more than 1.5 billion data points and the profiles of more than 1 billion working people. Eightfold denies scraping social media, says it uses data that candidates share or that its customers provide, and says candidates can see and correct their data. Kistler and Bhaumik say they were never told Eightfold was evaluating them, never saw their score, and were given no way to correct an error or dispute a low rating. They aren't arguing the algorithm is biased, which is notoriously hard to prove in court. They're saying that by secretly gathering this data and selling the resulting judgement to employers, Eightfold is acting as a consumer reporting agency without registering as one. That would place it under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the US law that gives people the right to see the information used to judge them and to correct it when it's wrong. I believe the court will accept that argument, and every company scoring people with AI will end up having to show each person the score and the data behind it. AI is notorious for making things up, not just getting things wrong. At scale, this means it'll inevitably misinterpret jokes about people, companies, or governments, and confidently fabricate lies to back up its mistakes.

  Stripe and Advent International offered USD 53 billion for PayPal. USD 60.50 per share. 28% premium. USD 50 billion in committed bank financing. PayPal has not responded. To understand why this matters you need to understand PayPal's problem. 👇 At its peak it was worth USD 340 billion. Today it is worth USD 53 billion. It pioneered digital payments and ended up surrounded by Stripe on the enterprise side, Apple Pay and Google Pay on the consumer side and traditional banks that adopted instant transfers. Stripe does not need PayPal's consumer wallet. It needs the transaction volume, the merchant network, the payment behavior data of hundreds of millions of users and the e-money license across dozens of jurisdictions. That is not buying a product. It is buying distribution infrastructure that took twenty years to build. PayPal has not responded. It may demand a higher price. The deal may not close. But the direction it points to is clear: consolidation in digital payments is accelerating and those left behind are the first targets. Does Stripe with PayPal change the payments market structure or is this an offer that dies in negotiations? #Stripe #PayPal #Payments

  @magicalbean_uwu I don't think you can use invoices on a personal account. Cause usually paypal buckles down on accounts using a personal account doing x amount of business on it Hence why they increased your limit a little bit. I think after a while cause they know kofi can sell things they are labeling it as business so just became full

  🚨 Stripe just made a $53 billion offer to buy PayPal. The underdog — trying to buy the company it spent a decade chasing. The bid is $60.50 per share, a 28% premium over Tuesday's close. Stripe teamed up with private equity firm Advent International to own PayPal 50/50, with about $50 billion of it coming from bank loans. But here's the part I keep coming back to. PayPal peaked near $360 billion in 2021. This year it sank to around $36 billion — down more than 40% in a single year. Stripe was just valued at $159 billion. Still private. Still "the startup." But the startup is now more than three times the size of the former giant. Ten years ago, this would've been a joke. Today it's a Reuters headline. It just goes to show, the names on top feel permanent — right up until they aren't.

  I mean they might be able to un-**** it, but that's a monumental task and also, is PayPal really worth $53B? The real issue is, beyond the infrastructure being (in my experience) ******, at times, the user trust and reputation of them as a payment processing platform is nuked.

  Why did $PYPL soar 18% on mediocre earnings? 🚀 It’s all about expectations vs. reality: Dirt Cheap: Trading at a forward P/E of just 8.5x, it was priced for disaster. "Less bad" than feared is a massive win. The FCF Engine: A huge $6B buyback program creates a massive price floor. Leaner Machine: $1.5B in cost savings planned through AI & restructuring. Growth Pockets: Venmo (+14%) & BNPL (+23%) are still scaling fast. Last catalyst: Michael Burry bought it Wall Street is realizing PayPal isn't a broken growth story—it's a highly profitable cash cow. 🐂 #Investing #Stocks $PYPL
