This is sure to put them ahead of Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Zelle, and Venmo. Everybody will be excited to use the payment system that charges them the most money!

If I'm reading this correctly, it's only for accounts with 12 months of inactivity. If you go for a year without logging into the service, then maybe you're not a Paypal customer anyway.

Note, Venmo is owned by Paypal.

You certainly won’t return after they suddenly charge you 10 dollar for the privilege of retaining your personal information. It’s a money grab, pure and simple.
If you login to see the activity, then they stop charging the fee (I assume for another 12 months.)
Venmo is literally the same software as PayPal, with a reskinned UI and UX
Wasn't it built separately and acquired by PayPal?
Yes
Yea not quite
