>Grift implies an intentional value extraction without providing anything.

Is it without providing anything, or a value extraction greater than what one is providing?

If the former, it makes the definition very each to check, but it almost makes it very easy to avoid grifting by providing even the most minimal value, and leads use to needing a new word for providing some value but extracting more than provided (perhaps intention should be included). If that is the case, might I suggest "jrift"?
