But…why?

  FedNow instant payments are rolling out in 2023, obsoleting anyone who settles payments instantly today (Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, etc). Have to go upmarket to survive. PayPal buying Pinterest is an attempt to evolve into Etsy, Shopify, or Instagram with a Buy button, getting paid to facilitate the value transfer.

  They're both equally horrible companies/products. I guess PayPal doesn't want to dillute their dreadfulness.

  Honestly good for them (Paypal), can't wait for Pinterest to turn into some bloated online billboard.

  Pinterest is filled with ads. I wonder if it's for data on what people are interested in and perhaps have an opportunity to finance a customers purchase.
