It was your self-entitled attitude that reeked from your comment. If I was wrong with that, sorry.
In that case, your demanding they give you something for nothing.
> I'm not sure what makes you think that customers can't demand things of those they do business with.
Demanding things while offering nothing in return doesn't help. Also, "Please point to the part of my comment where I said customers can't demand things."
> Also, who's saying I've upped my price?
You have. You're asking for control over their API's.
Seriously, people like you think these companies have your data. They don't. You still have your data. You've shared it with them. It's theirs now. If you really cared about controlling your data, you'd have worried about this when you first signed up.
You're just acting the part of a self-entitled egotistical internet drama-queen "fighting the big guy oppressing the little guy", and frankly, that song-and-dance get's old quick.
