I guess it all boils down to whether they are willing to use user generated content for profit without misaligning the interests for users.

I guess they can't and they won't unless they become a NGO.

Even NGOs need money to run their organization, and even though they’re an NGO, it doesn’t mean all their services are provided for free.

And I’d say that aiming for long term viability by ensuring they run at least break even is in the interest of their users, so not sure how their current actions are against the interest if their users.

And the fact that users put time and effort in creating content on the platform, this doesn’t mean all its services need to be provided for free to these users.
