I am so fucking done with corporations building their very existence upon a foundation of user-created content, then getting greedy and deciding they can make big money by charging for that content.
@jferg My take on that is AI happened to take off just as users started real efforts to own their own content (including artists, musicians, etc...). That would have meant an exodus of users from middlemen corporations selling user content on their platforms and charging egregious prices to the users per sale.
