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.

Men. Who uses cash?

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

Fuck banks. They get their money in other ways.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Possibly not related, we use less and less cash.

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