    They priced it to destroy third party apps. There is no other reason for doing it the way they did:

    • very expensive, suspiciously like Twitter, with no basis in real cost or a revenue model based on 3d party clients.

    • claiming that 3d party apps were never the intended use of the api, which is a blatant lie.
