  • I think people are wary of potential paid shilling. They’re pushing a specific brand unprompted. The title is click-baity. The statements sound like they were pulled from ad-copy (“signing up was super easy”). People likely aren’t getting to the MicroG part, but even that felt like a “hey, psst, if you don’t like Google, MicroG works.” I.e. it’s a downside that really isn’t a downside…

    Honestly, even reading OP’s responses it’s tough to tell if this isn’t going to result in someone saying, “looks cool, how do I sign up?” and then OP swooping in with a “here’s a link that gives us both $10 back when you make your first cross-currency transaction!”

    Just to note, I didn’t downvote, I’m just answering why alarm bells might be getting triggered. It could very well be that OP really just liked their Wise experience and wanted people to know, and has no ulterior motive in posting this. Unfortunately, that’s often not the case, and now we’re all skittish.
