I hate to do this, because it’s just not me to criticize typos and misspellings. However, this one is so glaring. It’s not payed, it’s paid. I hope my little reminder helps you in the future.

“I hate to do this, because it’s just not me to criticize typos and misspellings. However, this one is so glaring. It’s not payed, it’s paid. I hope my little reminder helps you in the future.”

Many English language dictionaries disagree with your assessment and list “payed” as a verb: “A past tense and a past participle of pay”.
“However”, if it feels so good for you to point out others’ perceived shortcomings, carry on. Narcissists often do so. I hope my little reminder helps you in the future. :-)
