  @H3xchu ok so you're in the same boat as me. I do open source code work and receive donations through patreon and ko-fi. I also sell merch for those projects through Printify. I've never had any problems with paypal, but i just keep it as short term holder before sending to my bank.

  @VTuberComics Well apparently the person who originally the post was about had a ID Verification error on Paypal so it was made a bigger issue than it was about NSFW. So people made it more of a big deal than it was...because it was REALLY about ID Verification error than being an NSFW artist.

  @nizbagelshop i’ve heard other people say it shouldn’t be an issue if there’s no real trace that u do nsfw on your paypal account like asking clients not to leave comments and using a different user as you would anywhere else (which i already do so im hoping im safe 🤞🤞)

  For the PayPal affected people, they should search PayPal Resolution Center to report, it will require login to your account to follow the process and log the report.

  @AdrianDustRed @sooperstuffart That been that way since 2010, Paypal doesn't allow NSFW because "brand issues" (not the true reason) & were one of the first modern cases to enforce that. Grummz the Grifter is pretty late on the show. But yeah, don't ill a word about your paypal email & what it's connected to.

  @Mephistofleas @HexeyDuh the paypal ban hammer is happening over nsft commissions. if this is just a business account issue that should be an easy fix yeah

  I'm seeing a lot more talk about PayPal and it's cracking down on all NSFW on my feed. It reminds me how PayPal banned my *** because I am pornography. Mind you, not what I post, not anything involving sales. But donating money to support me the person was apparently pornography

  @HexeyDuh Also ppl need to start using Wise ngl PayPal makes up the currency exchange rates to charge you a lot for no reason 😭 and is slow af and has literally no support at all but wise is the exact opposite, super transparent and cheap fees and great support just saying

  @AShipcore We also want to help but the thing is, there is not a source or mediator for the transfer of money. As for me, I tried using PayPal or Wise but due to some documentation error can't form an account. And Indian UPI system is not capable for intl transfer as it is region based +

  Paypal is getting more aggressive than ever with shutting down artist's accounts And others are saying dont put these keywords in the info, do invoices only, etc Sure that'll help But I used PayPal for 10+years with comms and still got hit and I followed a strict method

  Crypto didn't start because someone wanted a faster PayPal. It started because DigiCash got shut down. One server, one company, one point of failure. Satoshi fixed that. Ethereum extended it. The entire value proposition is fault tolerance, attack resistance, and collusion resistance. Remove any of these and you don't have crypto. You have a database with extra steps. The EF published a mandate codifying CROPS: Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, Security. They weren't inventing something new. They were writing down what was always true. The backlash wasn't about Milady or anime art. It was about people wanting the EF to say "we're going to compete with Solana on speed and fund KOLs." Instead the EF said "we're going to protect the properties that make this technology worth building on, even if that means moving slower." Some people can't handle that. Because they entered crypto to get rich, not to get free. Here's what the "just be pragmatic" crowd never thinks about for more than five seconds: if Ethereum loses credible neutrality, the rest of the world walks away. If it's captured by the US, China doesn't use it. If it's captured by China, the US doesn't use it. No country builds critical financial infrastructure on a network another country can influence. The only product that works for everyone is the one nobody owns. That's not philosophy. That's the only path to a global settlement layer. And the argument that "nobody will use the most decentralized chain" is based on the assumption that the regulatory grey area lasts forever. It won't. The CLARITY Act literally creates favorable treatment for genuinely decentralized protocols. When regulation stops treating all crypto the same, the chains that actually have these properties get a structural advantage that centralized chains cannot replicate. You can't bolt on decentralization after the fact. CROPS is not an obstacle to Ethereum's success. It's the precondition for Ethereum's existence. Stop gaslighting Ethereum. 👇

  @AskPayPal How will I access you customer care while I cannot login to my account please

  @Ubiquitous_Lee @Dengekichan Thats not true AT ALL. Paypal has always given issue eith anything "adult." People have been talking about it for years. But the WORST is Mastercard. They own the gateways for processing card transactions. Theyre literally the reason you cant say a bunch of WORDS on adult sites. You cant use the word "hypnotic" for example, in ANY context

  What's up with paypal being glitchy in the last few days? Change password, something went wrong when trying to login, some site was compromised etc ... Ugghh 🙄

  @HoinLP I get a little bit better your point even if I think it’s still 2 different problems, because if PayPal Visa and ect does have this issues, it can give ideas to all the alternatives and it’s a problem we should focus about our right as consumers too

  If you’re reading this and have a large amount of funds on Paypal, WITHDRAW THEM ASAP! Many people are reporting issues and Paypal closing their accounts out of the blue, attempting to keep the money for themselves (many of us cant afford a lawsuit to recover it) Scummy company

  @higgyboson @LiziSaniGari I had a problem with numerous calls from a belgian mobile number purporting to be from paypal fortunately all they seemed to know was that i had an account. The easier ones are the scams telling you you haven't paid your toll i reply to them with some very bad language

  Don't rely on Monolith clouds. Keep all vital projects in local/own storage. If you need the convenience of a server, make your own with things like Nextcloud. Any third party service can be shut down by Paypal/Visa/MC, or can decide to just one day unperson you, like this.

  @vapor_vtuber @Wokenessisevil At what point does it become a utility I understand cake's never gonna become a utility, no matter how much certain people wanted to But the service these paypal services provide it could easily be bypassed with a check in mail I know that is a terrible alternative But where do we draw the line between utility and non utility And who should be allowed to determine that

  @JedaySkayVoker Oh yea and especially their customer service is terrible I also hate their extremely high fees Unfortunately I don’t have valid alternatives Most clients still prefer paypal and I find it easier and safer to use Especially with the invoice option

  @AFpost Today I had a Chinese guy send me broken equipment and won’t pay me back, so I called PayPal and had to speak to a jeet for 30 min, then I had a customer call me who only spoke Spanish. (100% real) what country is this again?

  @FrancisWille9 @Wokenessisevil "You could just use another service" you, in fact, cannot. When VISA, Mastercard, Stripe and PayPal all wanna shut down something because they’re too puritans, what other options do you have?
