Recently, I have been trying to identify software I liked that was NOT ruined in some manner by its company's acquisition. I'm sure I'm forgetting successes somehow, but at this point it's a list containing one highly debatable item. So, for me, no.
For months I was wondering if they were intentionally boosting stats by playing videos after I scrolled them out of sight on my phone. I finally @‘ed them on Twitter and it got fixed a few days later.
I don’t know if this anecdote is in their favor or not, but “works” is a pretty broad category and “works well” is really up to interpretation. I’m glad they fixed it, having random videos blast out loud at me with no intention of watching them was really upsetting! But as far as I know the previous behavior was “working” too.
They would have been better off using that money to make a native (battery sipping) desktop client
