What about college football players, Mid-tier content creators, etc?

These are people who are providing a service, potentially because it’s a passion, but other entities soak up the profit.

You seem to be arguing that these people (in the grandparent comment and my own) do get paid, but my understanding is that they don’t, or barely do.

There are lawsuits pending on the issue of college players not getting paid. It is a problem and it is going to get sorted out soon.

That is a better analogy imho.
