Excuse me... but as a millennial, and knowing many other millennials that also care, we do absolutely care.

There is a long list of people that I know that don't use Venmo because of the "social" crap. Please don't try to brush this as a "millennials don't care".

I think by Millenials he really meant to say Gen Z.

"Millenials" has become a catch-all term for "young people" over the past 10 years, but the reality is that we are no longer the youngest generation. Older folks just haven't caught up to that fact yet. Anyone below age 25 now is a completely different generation from us. "Getting" Snapchat and Venmo seems to be the dividing line.

Is it necessary to take offense at every general statement? If millennials are the primary users of this product, then what he says is true. It's really tedious to have to couch every general statement in terms that allow for exceptions.
