They just want to sell ads. Corporate profit moment.

Why not just charge a reasonable amount for the api then? It's more complicated than that I think.

No, they want to steal data you create and profit from it, while offering nothing but spite in return.

If you make the data, the data belongs to you. That data has value, in spite of what Silicon Valley tech companies tell everyone. If it didn't have value, then these companies wouldn't be amongst the wealthiest businesses in the world.
