Do you think it's fair for big tech companies like Reddit and Twitter to shut off their API access? 1. Definitely fair 2. Somewhat fair 3. It's circumstantial 4. Somewhat unfair 5. Not fair at all https://i.imgur.com/8jLYEDO.png

3. Definitely fair given the rules of the game. They're for profit companies who control the rules of law in their world. But not fair given the rules of the road. Open API access enabled immense amounts of value to their worlds. Feels like a rug for them to just pull it out from under ecosystem developers.

Agree with the rug sentiment, definitely feels more like betrayal to devs rather than a typical policy change. Fair is subjective.
