    If they haven’t reached deals with AI companies by limiting the API, then why haven’t they returned access to third party app developers? They obviously see how far their engagement and quality has dropped.

    I won’t use their official app, ever.

      Even if they return to the old standard, they have shown to be too unreliable and ready for scummy corporate decisions.

      I have never understood this reasoning. Obviously the few determined actors for training data will just start scraping for content.
