Fully agree, after the IBM takeover, WU changed their focus... on every new change more an more the personal weather stations lost relevance, in prol of a weather site mainly focused to general public.
I wonder if they will continue to only show Air Quality data for those who have the Purple Air (a partner of WU) sensor? And the other players, will continue to be excluded?
When they have announced the end of the free API Key, even to those who send data to them for free (decision which they ended up reverting) I started to reduce the data upload frequency to WU. On that time, I reduced it to just every 30 minutes, latter when they reverted the decision about the API Key, I increased the upload frequency again to every 5 minutes, currently I'm doing it at each 10 minutes.
I like WU, but more and more I feel that for them, each of us, don't count for anything.
