Earlier quoted context omitted.

To be fair, it does say "Not affiliated with Twitter" in a blue background.

Many people wouldn't read or remember that detail.

Really? Because it's pretty prominent. It's the first attention-seeking detail after the Buy Now button.

That's a really good idea that was never going to work with modern Twitter. Old style Twitter? Maybe.

There's probably many reasons why Twitter shut it down, but there's also many reasons why developing a product around Twitter these days is, frankly, kind of batshit crazy.
