  @rysorchid_ I actually don’t know because I do wanna take some commissions, but I can’t tell if they’re scammers, it scares the hell on me because I don’t want my PayPal to shut down because of them .

  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.

  Every now and then I forget just how terrible an investor I am. Two of my greatest hits: 1. Let’s open a COVID-testing booths at the airport. $XSPA 2. Let’s try to put PayPal out of business. $HMBL 3. Still not even sure what $OPTI did. My track record speaks volumes.

Musk had just dropped out of a Stanford physics PhD program to start a company with his brother Kimbal. No money, no income, and for three or four months, he showered at the YMCA and worked out of what he later called the nastiest office you could imagine. The office had one hidden advantage. An internet service provider sat on the floor below, so Musk drilled a hole straight through the floor and ran a cable directly to their server, cutting his own bandwidth costs to almost nothing. He couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router either. “I personally wrote the first national maps, directions, yellow pages and white pages on the internet in the summer of 1995 in C with a little C++. Didn’t use a web server to save CPU cycles, just read port 8080 directly. Couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router, so wrote an emulator based on a white paper.” The company was Zip2, online city guides for newspapers, restaurant listings, directions, the basics of local search before local search existed. By 1998, CBS came to film him for a segment on his new life: the vintage Jaguar, six-figure salary, a market Microsoft had already tried and failed to enter. Then the reporter asked the standard question of the era. Where is the internet going? “The internet is the superset of all media. Print, radio, broadcast, all of it folds into the internet. It’s the first two-way medium that’s intelligent, where consumers choose what they see and when they see it.” That was 1998. He was describing a feed before anyone called it one. In February 1999, Compaq bought Zip2 for $307M .Musk’s cut was roughly $22M .That money became X. com, X. combecame PayPal, and PayPal became the seed money for everything after it.

  @TonyClimate @eBay This happened to me in the early 2000s. I filed a report with paypal (part of ebay at that time) and they dismissed it because "the seller said he shipped it" even though he could not provide tracking. $649 Eventually he shut down his account after a series of complaints.

  @Xx1tzwillowduh_ Definitely worth having a backup to PayPal if you plan to take commissions later. Payment issues can be a headache once you're relying on them for income, so having another option ready is a smart move.

  The Mars talk in this video is funded by Starlink, an internet business Musk almost never mentions. The Starship program costs SpaceX about five billion dollars a year to run. Development, factory, launch pad, engines, crew. The number is not audited because SpaceX is private, but it is the range every industry analyst converges on. Five billion a year, no meaningful government contract to Mars, no immediate customer paying for the rocket. For most of SpaceX's history the money to keep going came from three places. Falcon 9 commercial launches paying about sixty million a flight. NASA cargo and crew contracts paying a few billion cumulative. And Musk's own capital, which came from the PayPal exit and later from Tesla stock sales. None of those, together, would have been enough to fund the Mars ambition Musk kept describing on stage. Then Starlink happened. SpaceX started launching Starlink satellites in 2019. By 2024 the constellation had over six thousand active satellites in low Earth orbit, more than every other satellite ever launched combined. The service works almost anywhere on Earth. It has consumer plans starting around eighty dollars a month, enterprise plans for maritime and aviation that run into the thousands, and government contracts with the US Air Force, the Ukrainian military, and dozens of other national defense buyers. Starlink is projected to generate around ten billion dollars of revenue in 2025. Approximately eight billion of that flows to SpaceX's bottom line after satellite costs. That single business unit is now cash-flow positive and growing faster than any consumer internet service provider in history. Comcast added its first ten million subscribers over roughly two decades. Starlink did it in about four years. The rocket company that stands on the Starbase stage explaining Mars is not really the same company that started in 2002. That company launched other people's cargo for revenue. This one runs the largest satellite internet service in history, and uses the profit from that service to attempt something no government has ever committed to. Musk almost never talks about Starlink in the Mars talks. He does not need to. Starlink is the plumbing. Mars is the picture on the presentation slide. Both are true at the same time, and one exists so the other can. The engineers in the room already know this. Every Starlink launch on a Falcon 9 pays down the debt of the next Starship test flight. Every Starship test flight is subsidized by satellite subscribers in Wyoming who wanted internet in their cabin. The trick most casual observers miss is that Musk did not fund Mars by finding a Mars customer. He funded Mars by building the largest internet service provider in space and taking the margin. I signed up for Starlink for a rural property in 2022, mostly out of curiosity. I paid five hundred dollars for the hardware and one hundred and twenty a month for service. Two years later I found out my subscription had been quietly financing a booster catch in South Texas that I watched on a livestream from the same connection. The Mars talk on the screen behind Musk is aspirational. The internet bill under it is what makes the talk possible.

  Upsells for PayPal users don't fail because of the offer. They fail on the extra verification step. The moment there's an extra step, there’s an extra step: → login → 2FA → re-approval You're forcing a new decision, and CVR drops. At 10,000 PayPal orders, even a 2-point lift on a $30 upsell adds up fast. One less step means less time for intent to decay. We introduced PayPal V3 to remove redirects for vault-eligible merchants. Customers accept the post-purchase offer in one click. The upsell checkout for buyers feels like a single flow, not a fragmented process.
