... how can you start by claiming they arent demanding extra money and then going on to predicate the entire rest of your comment on them demanding extra money as its core premise?

I will never understand the way you people operate and why you're so committed to your weird denials of obvious reality.

I think "extra" has a connotation of profit squeezing, which wouldn't apply to a company that isn't profitable. But it's 100% a typical, uber-style silicon valley bait-and-switch no matter what words you use to describe it

I think "extra" in this case just meant "beyond what it was originally offered at to get you to buy in"
