> His business decisions were not right and he is learning it the hard way.
This is absurd. His business decision worked for 16 years, which is longer than many jobs or even companies last.
The point is that the new owner of Twitter has no respect for the people who contributed to the platform over the years. Twitter won't even announce that they've shut down the 3rd party API. How cowardly is that?
How is that absurd? His twitter client is just an interface for what twitter does already. It is like buying pizza from Dominos and adding one more topping on and reheating. I think investing in social media platform APIs is risky because they keep changing their business models and policies.

This is also absurd. If the app is so pointless, then why did so many people buy it?
twitterific and tweetbot were amazing polished UIs that made twitter better, before twitter even had a first party app. and twitterific coined tonnes of metaphors and UI that twitter uses to this day.
if you don't know the history of the third-party twitter clients, maybe don't make stuff up about how useless they are
