You're saying every marketplace that doesn't require exclusive content is a leech?

I'm saying that if an SEO guy who resells third-party software is complaining that Google is cutting them out of the deal, the SEO guy is a hypocrite.

I don't understand why you think he's an SEO guy? Is he scraping content to build his marketplace without seller consent? Would Etsy be an SEO guy in your mind?

Yes he is an SEO guy, no that doesn't mean you don't have consent for content you are listing. Yes, Etsy is built on the back of SEO, as well as Pinterest and many others.

They're running a marketplace to sell stuff...
Yes a store front charged a premium to host something on their platform. Like you can levy that complaint against practically every e-comerce website on the internet from e-bay, etsy, amazon, steam, overstock, etc.
And they do link to the creators websites. You can click through to their vendor page which can have a link to their personal website. https://filtergrade.com/vendor/carlos-viloria/
As usual, whenever you actually dig into these complaints it always turns out that the complainer is a galactic-scale leach doing something way sleazier than what they accuse search engines of doing.
