  @AskPayPal Why have you stopped replying to messages on PayPal and only send an automated reply that doesn’t solve the problems?

  Many creators are facing withdrawal issues. Payment stay stuck in "Pending" and there are frequent PayPal problem. Also, your bot is falsely marking organic videos as botted view causing hardworking creator to lose their page unfairly. Please @Picsart fix these issue. #picsart

  I complained to @PayPal - PayPal closed the case immediately saying I didn't cancel ahead of the renewal. Word of warning to everyone - @discord makes canceling automatic subscriptions incredibly difficult. I am seriously considering closing my server and building an old school BBS again.

  Ms Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years. You are messing with people’s brains when you are the CEO of a company that deals with brains while running MK ultra on people… tread very carefully… you are a therapist on paper. It is not normal for people who are therapist and mess with people’s brains and have a company to try to destroy said company at the same time. You want to be by his side by all means I really don’t care. But you will stop targeting me. You will stop targeting my son. You guys like too much drama this is not billionaire behavior. You think this is royalty you want to steal the country at **** point you think this is royalty. You want to be a queen…. But this is your behavior. Absolutely not. The only stupid ***** in this conversation is you. Trying to break brains running MK ultra on people and thinking that that’s going to strengthen your brand. I am sick of this. I reverse engineered PTSD I am Meta conscious I did the work It is not normal for someone to Target you that is psychopathy especially when it’s a therapist who owns a brain company. Do you see where I’m going with this? Pull your crazy together and start acting like a lady. I know I’m crashing out, but they know that I’m exasperated… your behavior will never get you accepted…

  @seiranaino I took an IT course and wasn't the great or best at it but this is usually normal to IT devs. From an IT perspective, this is actually one of the main reasons beta versions exist. A beta is an unfinished build released to a limited audience so developers can identify bugs, security issues, UI problems, and privacy concerns that aren't always discovered during internal testing. Sometimes certain backend data is temporarily exposed in the frontend because permission checks, role restrictions, or interface changes haven't been fully implemented yet. If users can currently see an email or PayPal email when they shouldn't, that's a valid issue and should absolutely be reported. But it's also the kind of thing developers expect beta testers to point out so it can be fixed before the official release. Finding a bug in a beta doesn't automatically mean the platform is poorly made or that the developers intend for it to stay that way. The important question is whether the developers acknowledge the issue and patch it promptly. So yes, it's a legitimate privacy concern—but it's also a normal part of the software development process. That's literally what beta testing is for finding problems before everyone starts using the final product. Of course regardless whether It's still on testing phase or not it's s valid criticism. What's not valid is bombarding a small group of devs with accusations and incorrect informations like what some people here on X did, Coding isn't easy and would toast your membrane if you can't understand a single computer language Give the devs a benefit of doubt because Vgen started small before as well, Plus the devs are very responsive when it comes to feedbacks I'll definitely wait for them to fix certain bugs before I start selling in their site so for now let them have their flow

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  I think people are giving Phoebe Gates far less grace than they'd give almost any other first-time founder. Remember this is the same industry which is known for these dark patterns, like honey and no one here shamed the honey founders when they did it. Only a lawsuit was filed against PayPal which is the natural progression of things. Not to mention the whistleblower here was a direct competitor, Capital One so it's actually a big company bringing down a startup. Generally in such scenarios people support the startup but here it's the reverse. Its essentially that her last name has made this a much bigger story than it would have been for most founders. If Phia had been started by two unknown twenty-somethings, the conversation would probably be about a browser extension that crossed a line. Because one of the founders is Phoebe Gates, it quickly became a debate about her character. It's also easy to forget that she didn't simply inherit a company. Bill Gates didn't fund Phia. She and Sophia Kianni raised outside capital, built a team, launched a product, and convinced people to use it. Having famous parents can open doors, but it also means every mistake gets judged more harshly and every headline carries extra weight.

  @PrettyBetrayer yeahhhh, and she's pushing blame everywhere else. Saying she's "taking accountability" but I keep seeing "my boyfriend" everywhere. The money should've never been withdrawn from PayPal, flat out. She said she transferred it because "when it's not in her bank account she gets worried about it," which is ironic since her bank account is where the issues were at.

  @RossoVermil No, Kodiak says he canceled payments, PayPal returned the money due to StarCat’s account issues, and he needed it after losing his job. Without actual donation logs or proof it was kept for profit, and Kiwi made the call not him it’s not the smoking gun you’re making it.
