<b>Word is a single API deprecation can brick half a tool</b>
When a platform deprecates an endpoint — say, hashtag analytics or follower demographics — every tool relying on it loses that feature overnight, no warning to you. The vendor scrambles, the feature quietly disappears from the dashboard, and the changelog stays suspiciously vague.
Why it matters: your reporting can break for reasons your vendor doesn't control. Diversify which metrics you depend on, and treat any platform's "data" feature as borrowed, not owned. The deprecation notices are public if you know where to look.
