I don't have any pics there I'd mind losing, but for those who do, how is this not extortion?

I've had apps do this. One was the old white pages app that changed their name to something... I think it was Hiya? They had the app free for years and users would add in call data (names to numbers). Essentially it was a community data pool. One day, they shut the gate and the only way the app would function is via a subscription every month. Eat my ass. I'm not doing that and you're a dick.
