“Mint has always been a money loser,” Mr. Agostino, a former product manager at Mint, said in an interview. “Given the revenue Credit Karma was generating, it makes sense to go that path.”

Translation: "Eh, all it does is help people without bringing us significant revenue. Let's try to push the users over to a more spammy based app!"

I remember when both came out, and used them extensively. Finally dropped CK, then Mint, as they both started including more and more loan ads. We certainly had a good run of actually useful free stuff, but that's finally catching up.
