They never actually replace things that they kill though. They just say they have something better lined up and then you never hear about it again. They said the same thing when they removed the setting from your profile to disable the constant app nagging in your browser. They said "we have something better planned", removed the toggle, and that was it. That was like a year ago.
They have no incentive to improve the user experience, it's a money machine where you're the product and advertisers are customers. When you use their app they can track you and serve ads more effectively.
