  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

  @unnuovoinizio1 I am interested in the two magnets featuring your Fella dog and the alcohol. However, I encounter an error when trying to send payment via PayPal from Japan to an overseas location. This appears to be an issue originating in Japan.

  Folks,... PSA here. If you are still getting emails from: Geek Squad Norton Anti-Virus PayPal McAfee Best Buy Wal Mart, all telling you about money being taken from your account for anything, 1. look at the email address. That is a big indication it is not legit 2. go right to your bank account. You will see that the money has not gotten withdrawn 3. delete the email and send to spam. If you get a call from someone saying they are a relative, in trouble and need money, hang up and call family members directly. More than likely it's a scam. Calls from the: IRS Social Security Administration Other Governmental Agencies They are scams. No Governmental agency will call you and threaten to imprison you. It's a scam. Job offers via text or phone call, especially telling you to apply over the phone. Scam EZ Pass will not text you. All of their toll violations come via snail mail. US Postal Service and UPS, will not text you that there is a package that is undeliverable. Its a scam Highly recommend you follow @ScammerPayback and watch his youtube channel. Too many people are still falling for these scams. Even though they are years old scams. Too many people also losing their lifes savings as well. Please watch out for those you know that could be vulnerable to these things.

  @AskPayPal The issue never gets resolved. I've already uploaded all of the documents PayPal requested for both myself and my business. One thing I noticed is that my business name appears in the top-left corner of the dashboard, while my personal name appears in the top-right.

  $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

  PayPal up 30% off lows – nice for bagholders. But if your avg is $120 and it's $60, you're still down 50%. No victory laps. Cut losers fast or market cuts you. Discipline > hope.

  Anyone else think @Ticketek_AU site is a joke? 6min countdown timers… first world problems, but had awesome tickets to Bryan Adam’s, went through PayPal for payment, by the time it finalised timer was over so didn’t register. Took my money, no tickets. Money was refunded about 20min later - got tickets, same price, nowhere near as good seats. Whichever bright spark put a 6min timer should be fired. Shittest customer experience ever

  $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.

  Elon Musk is no Albert Einstein. Einstein published papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and E=mc². His general theory of relativity revolutionized physics. His works paved the way for GPS, smartphones, solar energy and nuclear power. Einstein was a vocal advocate for civil rights, education, and global peace. Musk built PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI. But Musk is not an advocate for anything that would benefit the world. Instead, Musk highlights the need to avoid too much empathy. Musk raises the alarm regularly about low fertility. Despite the low fertility, albeit mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, Musk claims humans have to expand to Mars. In Musk's best known foray outside his companies, he headed up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE shut down USAID, established by JFK in 1961. Before being shut down, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the largest funding agency for humanitarian and development aid worldwide. Elon Musk said "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair,” He later posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” A peer reviewed study the Lancet provided a thorough counterfactual study of the impact of USAID over the preceding 21 years and a "what if" study examining the impact of shutdown to 2030. This finding indicates that 91,839,663 all-age deaths, including 30,391,980 in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030. That's 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust.

  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.
