They don't care about ill will, they care about money. They made nothing from third party apps and millions from gutting the API and selling it to AI companies.

not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for "low volume users" to keep the bots inflating activity

now they've literally stolen from the people who paid to support the site in the first place. absolutely shameless
