Why do people still use PayPal? This stuff is not news.
Use PayPal or don't. Just don't expect them to let you use it anyway you want.
Wow, this sentence must win some "highest offense:words ratio" award. It insults so many people in so few words!
I've just been getting increasingly annoyed with the content on HN. We have Slashdot/reddit for developer bitching, why do we need it here?
I don't think we need mindless bitching anywhere. I think the site would benefit if more people showed up wearing their business hat and left their developer hat somewhere else.
I could be mistaken, but I thought that was the point of this forum in the first place.
No matter which hat you wear, feedback is valuable. It updates my probability that I'll get screwed by PayPal a tiny bit higher.
As far as "entitled" -- hell yes we're entitled. The developers here on HN make the apps that use the services like PayPal -- they/we have a right to demand that PayPal not suck. PayPal has a right to not listen, but we certainly have the right to complain and take our business elsewhere and as a community of spoiled, entitled, not-actual entrepreneurs we should ALL tell PayPal to pound sand.
