>They head-faked a lot of developers, but I don't think that was deliberate.

Yeah I'd agree with that.

Can't say either if this will have major repucussions in the future.

Users probably don't care about these issues and dev's will suck it up, because they still want the userbases.

That said, a social network can potentially become 'uncool', pretty quickly, especially if they piss on the influencers.
