  @poems_past Both @kick and @YouTube need to drop DSPGaming. He is a net negative for both platforms while he also encourages tipping via Paypal to avoid giving each website their deserved cut, because he's certainly not bringing in ad revenue. Man's got less than 25 actual viewers, the rest are sock accounts to fake donations. Let's flush that **** down the toilet already.

  @PayPal what's the point in using you for online safety? Twice I've had an issue over the years and both times it's for defective items but you find in favour of the seller. I've been scammed out of money and your if no help. Off to the ombudsman again. #PaypalScamPal

  @NeithV3 Well there is venmo, but that isn't that different. A lot of folks also use Kofi, buuut that has a lot of the same problems as PayPal, in they hate NSFW. Some artists I have gotten stuff from have done stuff through subscribestar as well.

  @BellaDonnelly @GeachRosie24704 @belladonelly Hi , I think Rosie needs to down load the PayPal app. She needs to know how to donate from UK. I think she is trying to donate by sending on my email address. Not sure, difficult to work out but I think she is going to send a cheque. Thanks Bella,

  oh great, latam is in trouble now if these groups start targeting it. The security is laughably bad and so much so that even gov web sites in places like Mexico and Brazil do absurd things sometimes like disabling right click in the browser while also running 5+ year out of date wordpress based apps. I live in Argentina currently and find this a bit disturbing since mercado libre and mercado pago are tightly linked like how ebay and paypal used to be. Mercado pago getting pwned could turn into a major dumpster fire. I see this thing growing in latam in general because the comical security also extends to basically all mobile apps like rapi and pedidosYa(like uber eats) as just two almost obvious examples that almost certainly will get pwned eventually.

  Trial and error has built empires. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. Instagram started as a check-in app. Slack started as a video game. Shopify started as a snowboard store. Amazon started as an online bookstore. YouTube started as a video dating concept. Flickr started as an online game. Groupon started as a collective-action platform. PayPal started with PalmPilot payments. Twitch started as a lifecasting site. Nintendo started with playing cards. Nokia started as a paper mill. Avon started with books + perfume samples. Netflix started with DVDs by mail. Your first idea is rarely the final idea. Trial and error isn’t a backup plan. It’s the path.

  @Neronium_VT I had a fun experience while I was taking comms in vgen. My only problem there were the fees ... Other than the fee paypal takes, vgen also takes fees from the comms so we don't really receive that much from clients comms so some artists are force to up their prices

  @AskPayPal I also tried using the messaging/support options, but the automated responses were not helpful, as there is no option related to a permanently limited account. Could you advise me on the appropriate channel or procedure to resolve this issue? I would appreciate your guidance.

  @FeniciaDraws Ugh that sucks. PayPal is the worst. I know when I was with my last partner who did art commissions primarily for work, we constantly had issues with them. Especially when there were payments coming from other countries. Hope ya get it sorted!

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  @sshhhrn No dumb **** what you should’ve said was oh 25 perfect I respect your prices as the seller do you want me to use Cash app Venmo or PayPal? Not going to tangent about how it used to be 10 $15 go ahead and scroll down and show the rest of the ******* messages you sent like you only again are gonna share the screenshots to share your narrative lol. Why would I give you the price that I give my regulars when you’re no longer a regular because you’ve been ignoring me for literally the last seven months because I sent you a video a day late after the two years of a consistent content that I sent you I have one bad day or something in my family happens and I can’t get you the video within two minutes and it’s a day late and this is how you act.

  Monday reset The last two weeks have been rough My PayPal account got locked for 180 days with my funds inside. My Adobe subscriptions have been causing nonstop issues, and a few other problems piled up too, It definitely slowed me down But I’m getting back to work Every problem has a solution, and problem-solving is a skill, just like editing or any other skill, I’ll figure it out, keep moving forward, and stay consistent
