 * Stop adding a “Payments” tab that is just an advertisement for your payment processing.
   Put your ads elsewhere, just make them obviously ads. Seriously, why so sleazy?

 * Hi [@todditron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/todditron/),
 * Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.
 * I have passed the feedback to the team for further consideration.
 * I am unable to provide assurance regarding the status of our team’s decision 
   on retaining the current display or implementing any potential amendments at 
   this time. However, in the interim, we would like to present you with a solution
   for removing the “Payments” menu item from the sidebar, using the provided code
   snippet:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action( 'admin_init', function () {
           remove_menu_page( 'wc-admin&path=/wc-pay-welcome-page' );
       });
       ```
   
 * Please feel free to reach out in case you have questions or need any further 
   assistance!
