    With how vast the third-party ecosystem is, one would have imagined a full year countdown but it’s become obvious that this is nothing more than digital gentrification, one that kicks out the very people who gave it the spirit that is being monetized into an IPO.

    Those 30 days were meant to break the ecosystem.

      Digital gentrification is an interesting term. But yeah, TPA users have to be a particular type of users. Like power users, or just generally more discerning people who don’t want to use a crap interface. And they’re just happy to be rid of us it seems.

      Edit: Why does it say “bot account” next to my name?
