can someone please explain why paypal does not support ptc sites as much and bitcoins are encouraged
even though paypal is so widely recognized
I am not so sure the real reason behind why PayPal does not like PTC sites but maybe it is because PayPal considers many PTCs to be just another type of scams. Except maybe with some PTCs who have proven themselves to be very legit like Neobux and Clixsense. Well, to be honest it can also be true that many PTCs are made just to scam people or at least leave their members behind at a small glitch. PayPal because it is under an intense scrutiny with regulators decided not to be associated with 'scammy" programs
As far as I know, there were scams among PTC sites in the past, for example, the
Probux scam. I had been following the train of events back then, the Probux forum made an interesting and enjoyable read, but the names you just called have been in the business for many years (close to a decade, if I'm not mistaken). As an aside, they are pretty much like today's Bitcoin faucets and your earnings are pathetic there unless you manage to enroll thousands of active referrals (as is the case with Bitcoin faucets). So I don't know why PayPal doesn't love these PTC sites (they seem to be legit, though I'm not using them myself)
If it doesn't really love them, in the first place
