I recently made a Venmo account. I guess I'm just old but the public transactions thing is so weird to me. Feels like the newer generations are being tricked into giving up their privacy.

If you haven't done so already, you can make transactions private by default.

Yep, already did. It was the first thing I did after seeing my friend's whole transaction history.

They've never had privacy. Their parents monitored everything down to what they were masterbating to.
