  IMPORTANT PSA: Tipping Through Streamelements can get you doxed if the person you are tipping has their Setting toggled off (which I think it is by default) which says Tippers may edit their username. If they have it where tippers may not edit their username and then must use only their paypal credentials, then the streamer being tipped will see your full name. Thankfully, I have trustworthy friendos and I found this out after tipping. We didn't know it was a streamer setting issue, we thought it was on the tippers end. Thought I'd get the info out to all the peeps taking tips through streamelements. Below is an image of where to find that setting.

  You know, since PayPal blocked my account with money in it and there is nothing I can do about it, I have been wondering how we are victims of the systems of this world and sometimes there is nothing we can do. Imagine how one simple block can take you back to finding a way to eat and finding a way to restart your business again !! And this is a sign one day ,Your money won't be safe in the bank .. You will need a chip to use banks . This thing called money. You cannot appeal. You cannot withdraw your money. You cannot access what belongs to you. And eventually, they can use the money to pay their charges and fees. It is unfortunate that even as children of God, we are still living within these systems. And experiences like this make me think deeply: How many people will survive when the mark of the beast is introduced? Today, it may be a financial platform blocking your account. Tomorrow, it could be a law. A rule. A digital system. A currency. A condition attached to your ability to buy or sell. Think about it. When laws and rules are established, what happens when you cannot follow them? What happens when a new digital currency comes with instructions and conditions? What happens when the system says, “If you don't accept this, you cannot buy. You cannot sell. You cannot transact. You cannot live normally.” And what happens when obedience to that system means disobedience to God? This is why the issue of the mark of the beast should not be treated as a joke or something we only talk about in church. Revelation 13:17 says that no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. I don't know exactly how everything will unfold. But I know this: The world is becoming increasingly dependent on systems. And when systems control access to money, businesses, food, transactions, and even basic necessities, we need to understand the times we are living in. As Christians, we cannot put our ultimate trust in money, banks, governments, companies, digital platforms, or financial systems. Our ultimate trust must be in God. Because there may come a time when choosing God will cost you something. It may cost you access. It may cost you comfort. It may cost you money. It may cost you opportunities. And ultimately, it may cost you your life. The question is not only, “Will I survive financially?” The deeper question is: “Will I remain faithful to God when obedience becomes costly?” May God prepare us spiritually. May He give us discernment. May He give us courage. May He give us the grace to stand when the systems of this world turn against those who refuse to compromise. Because at the end of everything, our hope is not in money. Our hope is in God.

  @robertoblake Yeah absolutely man! (Long reply fyi) Basically Jestr runs paid campaigns for games, mostly indie titles and more. You apply for the campaigns you actually want to make content for, then create short-form content around the game based on the brief. A lot of them only require around 25 to 30 seconds of content, and depending on the campaign you might be playing the game, reacting to a trailer, or using footage they provide. The part I really like is that they combine your views across YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram for the campaign payout rather than judging each platform separately. I was on there for months before I really gave it a proper chance, but once I started only choosing games that actually suited my content and audience, I realised how useful it could be. When it comes to the promotional side, some studios have required tags, talking points, disclosure wording or specific guidelines they want followed. Those are a must. Outside of that, Jestr essentially asks you to follow your own country’s laws around sponsored content and whatever extra requirements the studio sets. The briefs are usually very clear about what is and isn’t required. Each campaign usually has its own budget and a maximum guaranteed payout available. Some campaigns might allow one submission, while others allow several. Those submissions all contribute towards your total performance for that campaign, rather than each one being treated completely separately. The views are pretty simple too. Your qualifying views are tallied across the submitted content and platforms. Some campaigns do require a minimum number of views before earnings kick in, usually around 1K to 2K combined views depending on the campaign, but that minimum is tallied across all your approved submissions and platforms. Once you hit the minimum requirement on those campaigns, your qualifying views start contributing towards the payout until you reach the campaign cap. Payouts can be made directly to your home country’s bank account or through PayPal. I personally prefer the bank option because PayPal can potentially hit you with extra fees or conversion costs. The biggest thing for me is that I don’t think you need to spam every campaign available to make it worthwhile. I’ve had a much better experience just picking games I actually like, or ones I think fit my audience, and making content around those. Happy to break down the payout side or show some examples of campaigns I’ve personally done too if people are interested.

  @chelleyourself . What applies here are no less than 50 long-form investigative journalism articles of around 4,000 words each, at least most of which are reflected on my timeline right here and then over at my Substack spot. If you click on the link in my Bio it takes you right there. I had all those artkcles on my timeline in full but no one was supporting my efforts so I took them all off and moved them over to Substack behind a paywall. Whoever critiqued them said they were great but that was just a handful of people along the way. The engagement they got was demoralizing so I basically stopped leaving them on here. I still make them available for free here, usually for 24 hours before removing them but I might just stop doing that too, because it's all just steadily gone downhill to nothing. The critical turn came when I produced a series of articles targeting the Paypal Mafia and Elon Musk directly, and was also focusing on what amounts to organized crime activities being carried out in the White House, such as, "The Doge Scam" and "The Pardons Racket". After that I found myself locked in a vault, with my posts getting like 30-120 impressions max and close to zero engagement. They've been pulling all kinds of other ***** tricks too... I wrote a lot about it... some articles, mostly just smaller pieces, just about all of which I've dumped off my timeline since then. At one point I was just going to abandon this enterprise completely, whwereupon I went on a jag and dumped like 2,000 posts -- or more -- off the timeline. My goal was to just have a neat column of article ads redirecting interested parties over to Substack, but at the end of all that I just kept going, but definitely throttled down considerably. I don't know if you remember me... We crossed paths when I first got on here, and you and Subi-Doo gave me my first little leg up... I think at that point I had 0, then 5, then 40, then 100 followers. Then I joined SmokeFleet, as Gina Lola Brigida, -- that was good for 1,000 followers -- but eventually I reverted back to my own identity for what should be obvious reasons, considering I am in fact an author, and a journalist, and my name is basically my brand. Things went downhill drastically when I did, though, and have never really been the same since then. It's basically just gone downhill to nothing, it's just been awful. A lot of people have made me aware over time that the platform's been actively rigging the game against me, and I've seen -- and documented -- a lot of underhanded stuff myself. I don't know really what to do about any of that. I don't see that there's much you can do. I've seen what they can do if they want to amplify your voice. And I've seen what they can do if they determine they don't want you getting your message out. The difference between the two is breathtaking. Good to see you again, it's been awhile. What's going on with you? .

  🚨 Someone built a tool that checks if your email is registered on 120+ sites — without the sites ever knowing someone checked. No notifications sent. No login attempts logged. No alerts triggered. Silent. Invisible. Complete. It's called Holehe. 16,800 GitHub stars. And the technique behind it is what makes it different from every other email OSINT tool. Here's how most email checkers work — and why they fail. Standard approach: try to log in with the email and a fake password. If the error says "wrong password" — the account exists. If it says "account not found" — it doesn't. Problem: every login attempt gets logged. Every failed attempt triggers security alerts on accounts with 2FA. Some platforms lock accounts after repeated failed attempts. The target knows someone was checking. Holehe never attempts a login. Instead it uses the "forgot password" flow — the password reset mechanism that every platform exposes publicly. When you enter an email on a forgot password page, the platform has to check whether that email exists in its database. It tells you: "we sent a reset link" or "no account found." Holehe reads that response. Gets the answer. Never touches the login flow. Never triggers a security alert. Never logs an access attempt against the account. The platform confirms whether the email exists. The account owner never finds out anyone asked. Here's what 120+ platforms looks like in practice. Social media: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit. Professional: LinkedIn, GitHub, Freelancer, Fiverr. Dating: Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Badoo, Happn. Entertainment: Spotify, Netflix, Twitch, Steam, Epic Games, Deezer. Shopping: Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Zalando, AliExpress. Services: Airbnb, Uber, PayPal, Dropbox, Adobe. And 90+ more. Every registration checked silently. Here's the use case that makes people share this. Run your own email address. See every platform that comes back positive. Then run an email address you gave to a company that claimed they'd never share it. See if it's registered on data broker sites and marketing platforms you never signed up for. See where your email has been sold or leaked to. Here's what investigators actually use it for. Journalists verifying whether a source's claimed identity matches their digital footprint. Security researchers auditing their own exposure before a public disclosure. HR teams verifying whether candidate profiles match claimed backgrounds. And the obvious: anyone who needs to know whether a specific email address belongs to a real active person — without alerting that person. Here's the wildest part. It runs async — all 120+ platforms checked simultaneously. Results in seconds. And it exports clean JSON or CSV for integration into larger OSINT pipelines. Pair it with Blackbird (which takes the confirmed email and finds linked profiles), Sherlock (which takes usernames found in those profiles and searches 400+ platforms), and Maigret (which builds the full dossier) — and you have a complete four-tool OSINT pipeline from a single email address. One command to instal. Run it on your own email first. 16.8K GitHub stars. 1.7K forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source. GitHub link in the comments 👇

  I need to stress that this is NOT Anti-X on my part. This is constructive criticism: this is clearly something that's broken (another follow of mine is getting almost all of her posts blurred, including a static photo of a kitten). And I'm currently going to have to ask PayPal Credit for a refunds on an xAI Supergrok that has been being billed two months after I canceled it. It's not unreasonable to ask for guarantees of safety and to fix demonstrable failures that could block access to private property before committing our money to you, even in an app we like and yse daily.

  $300 a share in 2021. $60.50 offered in July. PayPal turned it down. Stripe and Advent bid roughly $53B for a company that was worth $280B five years ago. PayPal called it insufficient. The stock had been sitting at historic lows around $40B before the offer leaked — meaning the bid is the only reason the price is where it is today. That’s the tell. Management rejected a number the market never got close to on its own. Enrique Lores took over in March after a profit warning, split the company into three units, cut costs hard. Venmo and Braintree are growing. Branded checkout — the actual business — isn’t. You don’t get bought at an 80% drawdown from the peak because the turnaround’s working. And Stripe, private and valued at $159B, would be buying its largest public competitor while never having to face a shareholder vote on the price. 💰 YOUR MOVE: $PYPL near $53B is a merger-arb setup, not a turnaround bet. The floor is roughly $60.50 while talks are live — the risk is talks collapsing and the stock retracing to the $40B level it held in July. If you’re long here, you’re betting on a bump above $60.50, not on branded checkout recovering. Watch for a definitive agreement in the next few weeks. @Blackintus

  In 2012, Honey launched as a browser extension that promised to find coupon codes automatically and save you money while shopping online. It blew up. Millions of people installed it. Thousands of merchants partnered with it. Some of the biggest YouTubers on the internet promoted it. Then MegaLag started digging. What he found made Honey look very different from the innocent coupon extension everyone thought they were using. Honey could allegedly replace a creator's affiliate cookie at checkout, taking the commission for itself even when that creator had originally sent the customer to the store. And sometimes, Honey didn't even have to find you a better deal. MegaLag also found evidence that Honey's “best coupon” system wasn't necessarily searching the entire internet for the best price. Merchants could control which discounts Honey showed. Then things got worse. His later investigations uncovered Honey's alleged use of “stand-down” workarounds, allowing it to continue receiving affiliate attribution despite agreements telling it not to overwrite another affiliate's referral. By 2026, this wasn't just a YouTube controversy anymore. Affiliate networks started cutting ties with Honey, and the extension had lost more than 7 million Chrome users and thousands of merchant relationships. Then came the lawsuit. PayPal tried to get the case dismissed. It didn't work. On June 22, 2026, a federal judge denied PayPal's motion to dismiss the amended lawsuit, allowing the claims to move forward. And that's why I call Honey a scam. Not because it sometimes failed to find a coupon. But because something marketed as a tool for saving you money allegedly became very good at making money from the transaction itself. Honey wasn't looking for the best deal. It was looking for its cut.

  @PayPal @Mastercard Would instantly lock you out of buying anything cause that's how PayPal works, first use would lock you out and then close your account out even if it's LEGIT cause PayPal uses AI for everything and there's number 1 major issue there, PayPay was good before AI.

  I spent 3 weeks watching my SaaS sit at the exact same MRR. Every morning: coffee → Dodo Payments / PayPal → refresh → same number. No new customers. So, naturally, I blamed everything. “The market is saturated.” “People don’t pay for design tools anymore.” “Twitter is killing my reach.” Then I did what founders often do when they’re avoiding marketing: I opened Claude Code and built more features. Cloud tagging. Dashboard updates. Dark mode. Result? Still zero sales. That’s when I realized my product didn’t have a feature problem. It had a positioning, pricing, and distribution problem. 3 things I changed: 1. One clear problem Instead of saying my product does everything, I focused on one workflow: Extract production-ready code, design tokens, and assets from websites without digging through DevTools. 2. Better free vs paid limits I kept basic features free. But valuable workflows like bulk downloads, Tailwind exports, and cloud projects became Pro features. If a tool saves a developer 30 minutes, paying for it suddenly makes sense. 3. Stop waiting for organic traffic I found 20 digital agencies and ran their websites through my product. Then I sent them a simple 15-second demo: “Ran your homepage through my product and extracted the tokens and assets in one click. Thought this might save your team some time.” No long pitch. Just proof. Within 10 days, the plateau finally broke. More trials converted. New customers came in. Agencies started using the product during client work. The biggest lesson? When your SaaS stops growing, don’t automatically build more features. Sometimes you don't need more product.
