Why do Facebook app developers tolerate so much abuse from Facebook? This app to me seems like a perfectly well behaved Facebook app that is within the social spirit of Facebook, and during its moment in the spotlight a Facebook bot kills the app and the author's personal account, no warning, no explanation. From a business perspective I would discount Facebook as an unstable and unsupported platform simply because any app within can get pulled any time without warning or explanation.
- awj 16y agoI suspect many of them view it as a psuedo-hobby, where at least part of the business costs can be discounted as "personal time". For those more invested in the platform than just a hobby, possibly they see running multiple apps as diversifying that risk. If you aren't feeling charitable, there's also the timeless explanation of fantastic stories of money made combined with poor judgement.
