It's amazing how many for profit business exploit the good will of people passionate enough to contribute towards the sharing of knowledge without compensation and still treat them with no respect.
This is part of the reason I struggle with contributing anything to review sites, Google maps, etc
Conceptually, this is the outcome of companies owned by those who wish to maximize their investment. Eventually organic growth slows and it's time to squeeze more juice from the lemons they already have even if they need a hydraulic press to do it. The flip side is that without that investment money these platforms would probably not exist at the scale users are used to. It'll be interesting to see if the fediverse manages to scale well or not.
