Favored

As a corporate customer, I feel like our API calls should get priority over your regular customers'.

Sure, but you'll have to pay the business rate.

Most Favored JSON? That's not a thing.

I know.

This is a play on Most Favored Nation, which is a phrase you find in trade agreements between countries. With it they agree to treat all their trading partners equally - oddly the opposite of what is happening here.

This is my commentary on price discrimination, the only legal kind of discrimination apparently. A business can charge wildly different amounts to different customers for the same service. I was first introduced to this concept when I was a teen and worked at a startup Internet Service Provider. I discovered that the phone company would charge a business a special "business rate" for a regular voice phone line - that was almost twice the price of a residential voice line! Same thing, more money. And I've since learned that the practice happens all the time! Another reason I could never succeed in the business world. I'm too fair for stuff like that.
