    My general rule of thumb is that unless you're a) paying for it and
    also b) those payments represent a significant source of revenue for
    the company offering it, it's never worth investing significant
    effort to rely on a third-party API.

  Medium is the current poster child for this, but myriad examples before
  and since Google killed of Reader exist.

  Free/Open Source Software & Services suffer different ailments, such as
  developer abandonment and discoverability. At least with F/OSS the
  source code is available so someone else can carry on.
