   Well put. One should always perform due diligence before committing one's time and effort into a platform. If it isn't a non-profit, it won't end well.

     This is par for the course in what I call the Exploiter Economy:

     Addiction-optimized platforms that strip away our free time and bombard us with ads. Products designed to extract maximum value from users while returning the bare minimum. And always, the creators get the short end of the stick while Big Tech laughs all the way to the bank.
