They are somehow legally, probably thanks to Trump, going to let kids pay for things online!
Well, let me tell you something Google, that wallet thing is so very much going to stay 1000% empty dry thank you! Lol I hope you guys stay super excited about that monthly service bill cuz I not giving my kid money to buy anything online. And if I want them up there I'll put them right there LOL!
Don't worry they will find a way to institute overdraft and make you responsible for the fees.
Look mah! I fixed the laptop! You just go here, pick a new laptop and they send you one right away! In the mail! Its just 14,000,000 Google points! Pretty cheap right?
Back in my day we used our phone plan money to pay for google play purchases /hj
…hookah jerk?
Edited for clarity:
Back in my day we used our phone plan money to pay for google play purchases / hand jobs.
/hj is a tone indicator for half joking :3
Counter point: I like it
(and I also find it useful, but I don't have the energy to argue about this)
/nm
Hehe, wasn't trying to argue, just quoted the video title. Use it if you want to.
Fairsies :3 tbf.. my use of tone indicators probably already implied my poor understanding of tone in writing, so me assuming an argumentative tone is not out of left field hah ^^
Back in MY day we used the phone plan money on logos and ringtones
Back in MY day we used up all of our phone plan money because we accidentally clicked on that stupid browser icon and loaded a website for half a second. Oh the terror

When bus cards first came out you could buy things from the dairy with them. Adults quickly realised how stupid that idea. I had friends who spent the entire months bus money on snacks after school then walked 2 hours to get home. They didn't even complain, it was a good trade in their mind.
That's an awesome trade as a kid tbf, would've done that too x3
Im not sure if this is an option everywhere, but in my country you can add your phone provider to google play as mentioned
So if you had nicer parents that topped your plan off for one of the more expensive plans what you could do was get a cheaper one, and spend the leftover on in-game purchases or whatever through google play :3.. phone plans were also how all the illegal irl item trades in mmos were done ^^
~~Do not~~ be evil
That's so yesterday. "Be rich" is the right motto!
Potato, potato.
Another way to buy $5000 worth of Roblox.
All these Fortnight skins aren't going to buy themselves.
"But no worries! We added parental controls" Yet another thing for overwhelmed parents to manage and stay informed about. Another one of those things that impacts people that are already struggling the most.
Also parental controls are ass. Yes you can block (most) pornography but you can't tell a social media app to not blast a teenager with misinformation. It's like a playground but with glass shards everywhere. You can forbid the kid from playing there altogether but they'd feel excluded while all their friends are having fun. Somehow there doesn't seem to be an option to remove the fucking shards though.
I'm glad to see the shitpost sub actually understand why this is a bad idea. I had some chud on c!android telling me that this was somehow a good thing.
Soon they'll be like Apple where you can actually go into debt by up to $20 through in-app purchases.
Wow! Very nice going TimApple!
It's likely in your best interest to move away from Gmail, if not immediately then over some period of time (e.g. start new email signups with other address, gradually move over existing ones, etc.)
With Proton being in some hot water, any other suggestions?
Say what now?
Ceo of company is a capitalist pig who doesn't mind associating with fascists, womp womp

When I was a kid we went to the train station and bought value cards with cash to make our online purchases.
I still get the value cards when buying games to make them "worth a walk". But when i have leftover card money i try to spend it on games where friends invite me or my wishlist.
Then play them at least for 20 minutes so i dont have a lot of unplayed games
This would be interesting if you could control daily and weekly spending limits or have authorized retailers in-app, but you can’t.
This doesn’t actually solve a problem for users.
Its solves a Google problem....how can it get more of your money?
Doggie wallet! You give your pet a monthly Google allowance to spend on Google, and then watch how happy he is to spend it on fortnight and rowblox.
Back in my day our parents just gave us cash to buy anything we wanted anywhere.
But that may not be as viable today.
There are already several transit systems that have converted to cashless systems. There is also a push to some stores to cashless as well.
Cash may be a superior way for kids to handle money, but I can see some areas where having cash isn't viable.
If I was a parent, I would want the wallet to act as a debit only system. However, I could see the utility in giving my kid a debit like system with $10 on it.
"DonT bE EvIl!"
I think we’re moaning over nothing again here.
