  @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.

  He makes $500/mo with 1 follower. A founder built Sochely — a local events platform he calls "the Yelp for activities." On IndieHackers, he reports $500/month in revenue. With just 1 follower. Here's how it works: • Users browse & join local events (baking classes, improv nights) • Creators pay to list events or subscribe for more features • Think "searchable real-life experiences" — not algorithm-pushed ads Tools likely used: • Google Maps or Mapbox API for location • Stripe/PayPal for payments • Possibly AI for search & recommendations The hard part: • Cold start — no events = no users, no users = no events • Content moderation — fake events kill trust Can you replicate it? Tough. Local events need heavy ops — signing venues, chasing users. Giants like Eventbrite & Meetup dominate. But if you niche down hard ("pet-friendly events" or "parent-child workshops"), you might find a wedge. The takeaway: You can make $500/mo with almost zero following. But don't build a platform first. Test with a WeChat group + docs. (Revenue self-reported by founder on IndieHackers, not independently verified.) Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #indiehackers #sidehustle

  Can't imagine having a box of merch I'm not allowed to sell online. It's invested money you will not easily get back. Unless you attend cons, its a lot of time and work in the trash And having to issue refunds for orders on top of that... paypal takes a fat fee out of refunds

  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.

  I will give literally every dime of the 3594$ in my bank account right now to anyone who can find a professional economist that supports trickle down economics. This is not a joke. I am dead serious. If you find one I'll dm you my paypal.

  Airbnb rep keeps telling me someone is going to resolve the issue but then they keeps closing the message thread as resolved and paypal tried to charge me again. Please figure out what the hell is going on on your end!! THIS IS SERIOUS BREACH OF SECURITY. WHAT IF GOING ON?

  @bbjess Banned PayPal from my life years ago, I don’t give my number out (I rarely do Snapchat because I can unfriend and save my personal info if I want to connect), I put a sleeve over my Starbucks, I’m careful with treat stream, and I had a maintenance man sit on my bed in my apartment after pulling down his pants and showing me his pink boxers. He didn’t work there much longer and yes it was because he saw my gamer setup and thought it was cool. I wasn’t popular enough to have my location be realized thankfully. So all in all, she is telling straight facts about this stuff.

  @TrippWahDog How did you pay them? If you paid through paypal, you can issue a chargeback.

  @thetect0nic @NSAGov Fable being pulled down has absolutely nothing to do with the David Saks being part of Elon Musk’s Paypal mafia and the IPO of SpaceX, except for that happening on the exact same day. 🙃

  @camiinthisthang I recently caught an LLM trying to implement a payment API without an idempotency key. Explain how a non technical person would catch or understand the problem here? I assume that you, as someone who worked at paypal, should be able to answer this if being technical is just cope

  @Oneirio I've been doing commissions on VGen and then having the money from there go to my business PayPal with no issues at all. I don't think VGen requires a code anymore either?

  DFIR Lab (@DFIR_Lab) reported 41 minutes ago

  🎣 DFIR Suite API Spotlight: CheckPhish URL Scan You're triaging a suspected phishing email. The URL looks clean in VirusTotal. No hits in your threat intel feeds. But something feels off. This is where POST /phishing/checkphish earns its keep. It scans URLs in real-time using CheckPhish's detection engine — purpose-built to catch live phishing pages, tech support scams, and brand impersonation attempts that haven't made it into static blacklists yet. What you get back: disposition (clean/suspicious/phishing), the brand being targeted (Microsoft, PayPal, etc.), and a screenshot of the rendered page. That screenshot alone can confirm what logs can't — whether it's a convincing Office 365 login clone or a legitimate site. Practical scenario: User forwards you a "verify your account" email with a shortened link. You expand it, run it through /phishing/checkphish, and within seconds you have a verdict and visual proof. No need to spin up a sandboxed browser or wait for threat intel to catch up. Costs 2 credits per request. Available on all plans at hXXps://platform[.]dfir-lab[.]ch It's a fast, reliable check for the URLs that don't trigger your existing defenses — but probably should. #DFIR #ThreatIntel

  @akichain_ Her admitting to "Give me a couple of weeks" for the refund just reeks of wanting to wait out the buyer protection on Paypal. She took that money and ran. Also publicly airing out the issue on her listing is highly unprofessional, get in the arena like everyone else on socmedia

  @MAGAVoice Zohaan is working towards people improvement. Elon is working towards self-enrichment, that the system has been built for. he has the money, the larger zionist ecosystem , the Paypal gang. Zohran has nothing, and the entire media tried taking him down for doing right by people

  @Barchart PayPal is the poster child for "great product, terrible stock." Everyone uses it, nobody wanted to hold it. The eBay spinoff hype set the top and it's been dead money ever since. Wide moat means nothing if growth stalls and the multiple keeps compressing.
