I see this more as a YouTube problem than a Lemmy problem.
Let me put it this way: reddit started out as a content aggregator. Then LLM's came along, and Reddit said: hey that's not fair, we should be getting a piece of the action. The rest is history.
Similar issue with FOSS, and then worrying about the profit companies make off of your work.
Point being, forgetting your initial mission statement and focusing on how you are missing out on the benefits captured by someone else independantly is a trap. If it's a service usage issue, that can be dealt with with rate limiting and premium support, but we must never compromise the initial mission statement or be blinded by greed.
That being said, Copyleft is a practical solution. Richard Stallman was in many ways right.
