PayPal has been ruined for quite a while. I'm not sure why anyone still uses it.
What is ruined about it? I use it regularly for online payments or payments between friends
It's inferior in every way. PayPal has been known to freeze accounts and drag their feet on unfreezing them. With Venmo and CashApp and all the various cryptos sending money to people has never been easier.
Why would you use either of these when Zelle exists and is built into your bank's app?
Third-party money transfer apps are very rare in a lot of non-US countries, because people just transfer money using their bank account. They're only popular in the USA because US banks were so far behind in terms of technology compared to the rest of the developed world.
Yeah Zelle works too, I wasn't endorsing any specific app as much as saying that PayPal isn't the best method for sending money to friends.
This is the Netflix argument again. Netflix was first to market and then other people reacted and innovated. Now everyone thinks that Netflix sucks. No different than Paypal.
Yeah, Netflix is a shadow Its former self, thanks for proving the point.
And is that Netflix's fault? It's not--it's the fault of the others. You know this but went for a gotcha anyway. It's like winning is more important than persuading. Too bad.
It's not Netflixes fault that they promote a show until it gets an audience and then pulls the plug? It's not Netflixes fault they raise their prices?
It's like you missed the last six months where everyone was talking about enshittification but sure go off how it's "others" that made Netflix suck.
edit; additionally thanks for not disputing PayPal sucks though, that was literally my only point, have a nice day.
This is definitely a "YOU" thing going on here, whatever it is.
Enjoy simping for PayPal or whatever you're doing Muskrat.
lol and made it personal for the chef’s kiss display of insecurity
Your lack of personal awareness is hilarious.
Piss off now please.
