did anyone not see this coming?
why would you build an app entirely in someone else's ecosystem, expecting it to last forever?
both twitter and google have done shit like this before, but they didn't even offer up the developers the option to pay... they just shut everything down.
Like Firefox/Chrome add-ons?
Reddit is just butthurt that they can't figure out monetization.
