Idiots. Buying a perfectly good service just to shut it down. I wonder if they even bothered looking for a buyer.
Also that new logo with the flag sucks.

Why don't they just open it up to let people run their own Pocket services? The usual "proprietary code" excuses make no sense for an organization like Mozilla and it's being end of lifed anyway. Just dump it on a repo somewhere and let people hack on it if they want to. Why isn't this part of the sunsetting plan?
