    They could have slowed the roll of shitty changes and successfully boiled the frog without much uproar.

    1. Block unauthenticated, no-API-key access outright, but allow app API keys a smaller number of requests per day, making apps more unreliable if not using a user’s personal key.
    2. Block unauthenticated non-user API keys and force users to generate their own API keys, killing off most 3rd-party app usage and almost all anonymous usage.
    3. Raise the price of API keys once few people are using 3rd-party apps.

    They aren’t even competent bastards.
