    - Loss of ad revenue *should* be the factor involved with charging for access to the API but as the Apollo guy posted, it doesn't add up -- nm - oblique May 31, 13:47 1
      - Correct but I’m guessing the ultimate goal is just to kill the third party apps and the API. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ May 31, 13:54
