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.
- Correction: Regardless of what you do.
- Maybe that's just from that day.
  
  You guys. This is a meme. There's no reference to any real people. I think the person youre imagining is going to be ok.
- 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.
- I came here to say the same thing. Very risky.
  
  Close call

Holy fuck why would you keep that much in your paypal account jfc that’s risky
- 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.
  
  They're making interest of those funds just setting around. Of course they don't want to help you move the funds away from them.
- yeah, the only valid reason is if you receive $98k at once through paypal
  
  Probs shouldnt be doing that either lol
- When you have a lot of transactions, you offload them on a schedule, not every transaction.

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.
- Not defending PayPal, but I used to work there. They suck but in my experience you woulda lost the 500 of the person had called their card company too. Idk how the bank would have handled the dispute directly without PayPal but they do love holding funds as well
  
  If someone disputes $500 with your bank, your bank doesn't hold your whole $15,000 account while sorting it.
  
  They froze my entire account for 500usd. The rest of the 14500 was from other happy customers.
  I use a regular bank for credit card services now and when there is something contested, it's only for the charged amount that is held. Not my entire account.
- That’s why I love crypto. No reversals, no bs
  
  Or just use bank transfer. It's the same as paying in cash. Do Americans still have to use third parties to send money?
  
  Well you're gonna love GNU-Taler
  
  Most small and medium businesses don't have crypto. They use corporate P cards. So a business would call me if they launched something and the site tanked in sales. 2500 on their corporate card and their problem is fixed.
  There is still a stigma for crypto.

You keep almost 100k on PayPal how fucking embarrassing
- That was just the latest transaction
  
  It says "balance" right there
- Well where do you keep your change

Wish I could draw lesbian furries 🥹
- i wish i could draw lesbian stick figures
  
  Draw an XX but with the X's crossing. Lesbian stick figure scissoring!
  
  I wish I had 100k.
- Everyone can draw that. The money is in drawing really well.
- Dude if I could draw I would only draw commissioned furry porn. So Much Money!

Paypal is not a bank account. This is dangerous.

Having that much money as a paypal balance and not at least in a bank account or invested is insane
- 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.
- 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.
- Idk how much of that you’d wanna invest in stocks…soo risky and soo long to see any noticeable returns at all…
  
  Invest in whole market ETFs instead of individual stocks. Much less risky. Still risky, but not stupid risky.
  
  I micro-invest in companies I am familiar in working with at my job. Mostly bio-tech/healtcare/pharm. I have a 403B that is invested in index funds and bonds that is more serious savings. The Robinhood account is more like... a shoe closet. I buy the shoes I like and rarely sell them unless they, well give me a bad experience in real life (looking at your Reddit, Amazon, and Meta). After Trump was elected... I expanded my horizons to European ETFs and Chinese car companies.

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

i wish I had 1% of that this week, lol. i’ll draw furries for 1%. may include crayon INSIDE the lines!

🫴 💲 ?
- You draw lesbian furries how fucking embarrassing
  
  Oh yeah, well!

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
- I like to sit on the couch and vegetate, would this help ?
  
  Wow wow. The saying is “you’ll never work a day in your life,” not that you’ll be financially stable.
  
  Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.
  
  You should sell plasma

With the advent of AI, does this sort of fuck up their revenue stream?
- I've been told most of the furry community wants to support artists. Many are also VERY particular about their fursonas.
  
  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.
  
  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
  
  Yeah AI is very good but it still problematic with some characteristics.
- Furries have very high standards
  
  And apparently the funds to back them up XD

People who brag about money never really coming out looking the best...
- 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.
  
  Except that something being profitable doesn't make it any more or less embarrasing. e.g. Landlords make lots of money yet we all hate them.
  
  Thank you, Captain obvious
  Edit: what gets downvoted is sometimes downright pitiful

I'm not amazed that people like that -- I also do sometimes -- but I am amazed that people pay for that
- 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.
  
  No it actually isn't, but you do do my friend

I stopped using Paypal a few years ago. But I had to through it to cancel any subs and recurring payments very carefully. I never had them freeze my account/money but I had friends that happened to related to Ebay transactions. Those instances soured me on selling on Ebay as well.
