@robert_said_what Because developing a social media client takes a ton of work and is a constant work in progress. The API will continue to improve and change over time. Things we built initially will get improved to work better. Not everyone is willing to pay for a subscription and that's fine. It's a free market and you can use what works for you. But we are in the business of building a high quality app experience and there are many who are willing to pay a sub to fund our hard work.
