What does PlayStation 4 have to do with this? Am I getting old?

Is this BoneAppleTea?

The only reading that is making sense to me is shorthand for "pays for", but I've never seen that slang in the wild so I have no idea

Speech to text system is my guess. I don't know if more people are using it or what but it never used to be this common.

I assume it's shorthand for "pays for"

My understanding is most shorthand/euphemisms nowadays seem to originate from tiktok's strict and sometimes inscrutable censorship rules. Maybe this is one of them?

Edit: apparently this was a case of text-to-speech gone away. I prefer my head cannon of tiktok trying to censor conversations about anyone who "pays for" an elicit service.

I figured it was just bad text to speech, and OP just didn't go back to proofread.
