Many cheered when banks eliminated ATM fees in 2017 – but now it’s a struggle to find one

Bank-owned ATM numbers are down almost 60%, with many spots now taken by privately-owned machines charging about $3 per withdrawal

Yeahhh there’s a causation being drawn here that’s fallacious.

The death of ATMs was due to lack of use, not lack of fees.

Fuck banks. They get their money in other ways.

Men. Who uses cash?

I’d prefer free, unneeded and slightly less availalable than everywhere, necessary and rip off.

I’m shocked operators didn’t want to run the machines while losing money. SHOCKED!

Possibly not related, we use less and less cash.
