Theres a setting that will default all your transactions to private in Venmo.

Cash is still lacking a calculator feature, and I've had some problems sending money to people where it just errors out with no explanation. I wouldn't call it flawless. You can mostly ignore Venmo's public feed if you want to.

This piece sounds like an advertorial, and these artists are almost definitely being paid to mention Cash App.

Venmo are cunts, they banned me for life and refused to explain and basically treated me like a terrorist. All I did was send money to various people once in awhile to be nice to them. That was it. I hadn’t even used Venmo for 3 months when they banned me out of the blue with a menacing email about how my activity set off red flags. Like they really went out of their way to be dicks for no reason, it was astonishing. If anyone from Venmo is reading this, go fuck yourselves.
