- vortico 8y agoThe reason is simple. They don't need third party applications to support their business model anymore. So why would they try to improve their API?
- bytematic 8y agoI get your meaning but strong third party apps really help platforms. Reddit Enhancement Suite and Better TwitchTV come to mind.
- vortico 8y agoThey might help the platform for consumers, but I'm talking about for the owners of Twitter. Third parties don't help by a measurable amount, or if they did, it is less than the cost of maintaining a good API.
