I think that most of the concern comes from the fact that Pinterest has had no problem doing this in the past [1]. While it may not be the plan at this moment, things can change quickly, and with any change in a system like this, people are going to naturally worry since they've seen it happen countless times in the past.
Congratulations on the acquisition, and I wish you the best going forward.

- AndrewWarner 10y agoI hate when apps I like shut down. David was pretty open in the post you linked to: "Though the team will live on, we’ll be focused on building within the core Pinterest product."
- bthdonohue 10y agoObviously the Math Camp acquisition was before my time, but my understanding is that acquisition was explicitly for the team and not the technology.
- frankquist 10y agoIsn't the technology of Instapaper separate from Instapaper as a product, though, to some extent? (at least the parser bit. I get that the information about reading habits is inseparable from a running Instapaper service)
