So evil. I shutter and recoil every time someone suggests it as a payment option.

I *shudder as well, but also shutter the conversation… abruptly.

Nice fix.

Venmo is so evil it effects grammar even on nostr. (Wait! *affects — dammit!)

Affectionately enjoying your struggles today.

The struggle is real. But back to Venmo. That app disgusts me. The very idea of it was born from a twisted and evil framework.

Convenience isn’t always a good thing. But in the US it’s used a ton. I use it occasionally as I have a daughter in college & it’s all they know. I turned off the “public” view function almost immediately years ago. That’s the most evil part.

Yeah, the fact that, that feature was an opt-out and not opt-in tells you so much, but again it’s almost always opt-out with these apps.

But the UX rocks. Venmo and Cash app both are just stupid simple

Yeah, qr + static handle is the right way to do it.

I have to login every once in a while because my boss likes to send out $$ to pay for pizza during long teleconferences.

Lets broadcast your every transaction to the world. Lets constantly pressure you to get a shiny new credit card. Lets give you some shitcoins so you'll buy more from us.

fuck venmo and their even eviler parent company paypal.
