Do NOT leave that amount of cash on your PayPal if you draw porn, they might shut down your account and you can lose it with zero recourse.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 235 points 1 week ago

Correction: Regardless of what you do.

Maybe that's just from that day.

Yeah. Thinkst Canary started their business without investors or anyone that would tell them to not use PayPal. Their product was a fucking hit and since that happened they were getting a lot of cash in their paypal account. The ceo was on Risky Business and said that years after PayPal closed their account, they were still out the few hundred thousand dollars that were in the account. Do not use PayPal, and if you must transfer whatever money you get to a traditional bank account asap.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I came here to say the same thing. Very risky.

Holy fuck why would you keep that much in your paypal account jfc that’s risky

[–] simple@lemm.ee 128 points 1 week ago

FR. For anybody that doesn't know Paypal's customer support is abysmal and they can freeze your account for petty reasons without warning. There are many cases of people fighting with Paypal for months before being able to cash out, you should never use it to hold money.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

yeah, the only valid reason is if you receive $98k at once through paypal

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago

Story time: I have a side business selling web optimization services. UX, AB testing, etc.

I got busy and didn't take my money immediately after completing a few projects and one of my clients complained to Paypal about my service. My account was immediately locked and it took me at least 3 months to get access back to my account.

They basically had 15k of my money, interest free for them to play with even tho the contested amount was $500. I ended up just eating the 500 just to get access to my account, even tho the client is still using the improvements I made to their site.

So ya, fuck Paypal. Fffuuuucccckkk PayPal.

Paypal is not a bank account. This is dangerous.

[–] ftbd@feddit.org 56 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Having that much money as a paypal balance and not at least in a bank account or invested is insane

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 33 points 1 week ago

Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people's accounts.

Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn't like you, say you sold "Fuck PayPal stickers", they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Back when I was doing art for money (not adult or furry stuff, sorry) I had years of racing to the computer or in some cases, the ATM, to transfer new payments out of Paypal.

Because they make decisions on behalf of linked providers, like ebay. If you have ebay fees due, you don't get flexibility when you can pay it, Paypal just grabs it the next time it sees money come in. They do this with all kinds of fees and payments, if you have a delicate life like say... being a struggling artist, you are gonna get reamed by paypal and associated predatory companies. Not that there's a lot of choice.

Brandt said he enjoyed being a meme, and he did frequently use the catchphrase, although he did say that his high school English teacher would not have approved of his usage of "ain't".[6][20]

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 1 week ago

Teach needs to get with the times. Ain't is a valid word. It's even in the dictionary.

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

[–] whyalone@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I like to sit on the couch and vegetate, would this help ?

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wow wow. The saying is “you’ll never work a day in your life,” not that you’ll be financially stable.

With the advent of AI, does this sort of fuck up their revenue stream?

[–] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 76 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I've been told most of the furry community wants to support artists. Many are also VERY particular about their fursonas.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 38 points 1 week ago

I have friends who are artists in the furry community, and can concur. They work like dogs, er, I mean diligently and ceaselessly creating amazing work, truly impressive.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

100%. Plus a lot of the time you commission specific artists because you like their style, and want them to draw your fursona in their style. And obviously want to support them for their talent hahaha

I'm not amazed that people like that -- I also do sometimes -- but I am amazed that people pay for that

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 18 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Furry-ness is correlated to hyper specific niche interests is correlated to high paying tech jobs.

Businesses that help people get off are rarely short of customers.

People who brag about money never really coming out looking the best...

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

The furry artist was responding to someone saying his "hobby" was embarrassing. He posted the balance to show that his "hobby" is actually a very profitable business.

It's a brag, but a provoked one.
