I think charging to use the API is fine, but it was definitely overpriced to the point that it was obvious they wanted to nuke TPAs. They need all that sweet user data to sell to others, and they can't get to that with TPAs.

    I mean user data can very much be completely inferred from API calls. It's not about the user data itself, it's about being able to say to advertisers "all our users will see your ads".
