       If you didn’t already think TripAdvisor was garbage, they’ve now shuttered SeatGuru with no replacement.

       @alexr Damn, I had such high hopes for those particular capitalists.

       @aral Apparently they’d bought SeatGuru a few years ago and had already let the data grow stale and we didn’t notice until they just turned it off. The app silently fails searches but the website has a landing page that tells you that TripAdvisor doesn’t value you as a customer and couldn’t figure out how to sell ad space in a successful app that owned its category.
