I never understood the purpose or value of PayPal. You need a credit card to not need to use a credit card. You keep your money at another third party account, and they had arcane rules to follow to allow you to get it. Who needs that? I buy things with my credit cards, and if I sold things, I would insist on payment that way. OK, fine. …

You keep your money at another third party account, and they had arcane rules to follow to allow you to get it. Who needs that? I buy things with my credit cards, and if I sold things, I would insist on payment that way. OK, fine. But frankly, I never knew that PayPal had gone woke. Just as Coke, Disney, MLB, and Netflix got the message, PayPal will cut the crap too if enough of us boycott it and they start losing money. Woke capitalists are still capitalists and they will respond to that kind of protest. Thanks for this “woke up” call.
PayPal made a lot of sense in the early days. You could buy things using a credit card from small business owners (or individuals) who could not otherwise take payment by a credit card. Among other things, this massively increased the customer base of small businesses and artists. You could use your credit card to send money to a friend, or to pay one back for a loan. These things all seem "old hat" today, in a world with Square, Venmo, etc., but they were revolutionary at the time. Those were the early days with the original founders, not the woke, fascist nightmare that PayPal has evolved into.
Why don’t WE just shut it down. PayPal like all corporations need massive amounts of people to run. Their attitude and behavior is unAmerican we need to put an end to it now.
Also my friends don’t seem to understand your post. When I say I’m boycotting Coke they say but how does it help? I say it doesn’t but I feel absolutely terrific doing it. It still goes over their heads though.
I’m with you girl!!! It’s already starting with Disney they had to bring back Bob Iger and their shares have lost 35-40% value this year. They must be hurting!
Yes, they quietly reduced their DEI leftist messaging. Coke stopped political comments related to voting, Disney fired their CEO due to poor performance, MLB lost fans and TV money (not all due to Covid), Netflix blew off the Chappelle debate. Woke doesn't sell drinks, tickets or subscriptions - it offends half of their customers, and the customers withdrew support for their products.
We are right Lynn, we have to keep at it though, we not going to see major success overnight, we have our work cut out for us but soldier on its going to be good!
And if he didn’t make money for them, they’d be acting differently. Don’t kid yourself. These are also the people that are bringing you the markle Whinge and Ginge festival.
Or if people are watching it they’re doing it to gawk or laugh at them. Markle is as crazy as a real housewife. People love that kind of thing for some reason.
Yep. It's all about money. I don't expect anything else from large corporations.
Woke "entertainment" had its moment, and it was mildly successful b/c people wanted to feel virtuous. But let's be honest, all that woke content is boring, didactic, finger-wagging and there is only so much people can take. The vast majority of people want to laugh or cry ... you know, be entertained.
That's why the Top Gun sequel did so well this summer—it's by far the most successful movie in years. And why Don't Worry Darling bombed.
We winning this battle - I loved Top Gun went and put my bottom in a movie seat bought popcorn had the best night ever. The next movie in the theater was Bullet Train with Brad Pitt it was pure magic no wokism nothing to feel guilty about, nobody worrying about anybody else privilege just an amazing night out. Get out of your houses get back to your community start living like Americans please!
Coke stopped political statements. Disney fired their CEO after earnings dropped and Florida rebuked them. MLB hasn’t peeped again after they pulled the All-Star game from Atlanta because fans and viewership declined, and Netflix publicly stated that all their DEI programming was not winning new subs.
Disney did switch out CEOs recently. Netflix laughed at the cry bully uproar over Chappelle a few months back. Big Capitalism is slowly realizing that Woke is not really a good marketing strategy in certain corners. But part of the problem is that so many of these companies are Too Big to Even Notice that a few thousand are boycotting them. And they're manned by freshly minted young ideologues who think that they have a moral obligation to change Wrongthink. The rot is deep and the band plays on.
FWIW, Disney's change of CEO's was back to the more woke Bob Iger...aka the guy who started all of the woke bullshit projects that have recently bombed (Think: She-Hulk, Strange World, etc.) Their change in management is a regression likely meant to cover their asses after a huge loss in profits. This particular point is one that MSM is getting completely backwards: the projects that failed were begun under Iger not Chapek, 'Tis a bait-and-switch.
Worth adding that while Iger is slightly more to blame for work Disney, he may also be using this chaos as a chance to reverse course. If you want some fun gossip check out ol’ Doomcock:

Please all listen to Bob boycott all the corporations it will certainly make a difference we must hurt them!
And even if it doesn't work it makes me feel better.

Wait, Coke, Disney, the MLB and Netflix got the message?

I hope you are right. I think they are playing possum though.
We are right Lynn, we have to keep at it though, we not going to see major success overnight, we have our work cut out for us but soldier on its going to be good!
I’m not sure coke, Disney MLB and Netflix got the message. What have they changed?
Netflix has Dave Chappell. Even though they were pressured to drop him.
And if he didn’t make money for them, they’d be acting differently. Don’t kid yourself. These are also the people that are bringing you the markle Whinge and Ginge festival.
True but do you believe the figures I don’t, everybody I have asked have said they not watching the whinge and cringe festival.
Or if people are watching it they’re doing it to gawk or laugh at them. Markle is as crazy as a real housewife. People love that kind of thing for some reason.
That’s funny 🤣🤣🤣
...because it's true!

Get woke, go broke.

Exactly Rob keep the pressure up and on everyday, we can win this war!!
How cute you take them at their word.
And PS? Disney got back Iger. Disney + still asks your gender and includes non binary. How not woke!
I second the Iger comment: he's the wokester, not Chapek. All of the losses from this year were for projects that were started under Iger.

Ah. I was wondering about that. Thanks for the finer details.
Keep boycotting. We have to keep pressure on where possible.
