I appreciate the empathy and the context. It definitely helps.

> I spent some time working as a consultant

Did you consult on your own or work with a company? If you were on your own, how did you find clients? I've got a business entity ready to go and am heading to meetups to try and network. What else should I be doing?

Isn’t he already at Microsoft? Or was that hypothetical

> If Samsung was told "You can't let anyone pay you - have to show a screen with four competitors and let the user pick which one they want as default"

What if I’m the 5th messaging app? How do I get a place over the first 4? How does Samsung decide?

What if I’m the 20th or 50th? Do I deserve a shot? If not where is the cut off? How do I become a winner and not a loser in this situation as the first N shown will have a huge growth advantage

I was scammed out of a few grand in a moving scam a few years ago over Zelle, via my bank

Does this mean I can get that money back? Who do I talk to/where do I go to do so? My bank? Zelle itself?
