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.

Possibly not related, we use less and less cash.

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