This assumes your last subscription was in the last 7 days and you know when the money gets withdrawn. Some subscriptions are not monthly, so you end up having to search for a specific subscription you know of to click on to get to the secret My preapproved payments page.

Of course, the polite way of handling subscriptions would be having a link to this page in the menu. Sort of like how there are links to all of the other things you can do.

Does this feature honestly not seem hidden to you compared to the other things you can do on PayPal?

I can't say I disagree or agree with the concept of these newer loading bars yet, but I'd really like to see citations or any references for just about everything in this article. Is this all just based on your assumptions of what confuses users? Or is this an area you've done research in?

As a counter-point I'd just like to say that I wasn't distracted or confused about where you went with your comment and I enjoyed it. Not to pass judgement on whether or not it "belongs"; just saying.

Yes. At least in this example, (if it succeeded) you'd end up with a website on their service after this. Regardless how hard it was to get you there, you no longer are a customer that has to be emailed frequently to use the product. You are now just a customer.
