I hope that someday we will have an anti-trust regime that scrutinizes this kind of thing more carefully. One of the main things I liked about Dark Sky was that they charged for their app. They were good, people knew they were good and paid for it, so they had a business model other than acquisition. I guess there goes that. Wunderground was completely crippled after their acquisition by the weather channel and became a useless heap of junk; looks like it's Dark Sky's turn. Weather Underground was a great resource, but they never got a funding model that really worked; their subscription-based "ad removal" didn't really work for me.
