Yeah, it was hard to believe what I was reading there. Building something that can't stand alone as a product without a 3rd party API is always a big risk for a developer. When it blows up, should not be made the customers problem.

Especially when Twitter has been mostly assholes around API access for almost a decade now. I was shocked they didn't turn it off well before Elon bought 'em.
Having said that, it is pretty crappy to just shut it off without any definitive guidance - Elon or not.
