I imagine their premium API was also available worldwide.

Okay, so two booleans, and checks of those booleans in a couple of algorithms.

This still isn't a huge change, it's not completely new functionality. Once again, not saying it's small, but it definitely isn't huge.



Clearly worldwide payments is an issue otherwise they’d have rolled it out worldwide day one, and they didn’t. There must be something holding that back.

Plus I really don’t think you can compare B2B payments for premium API access to end user payments. Not least because they aren’t going to be going the same route: a huge number of them will be via Apple or Google in-app purchasing. Ask anyone who works with those systems, it isn’t a quick plug and play job.

In general though, a new subscription tier, feed algorithm changes, UI changes… if these aren’t, what is a big change in your book?
