Exactly, they depend on thousands of people working from free (from people that post stuff to the moderators that don't even get proper tools), and then they try to extort them. And in the middle of this I think people running some social media companies don't understand that active users are both their suppliers and main asset, and that they should do everything in their power to not piss them off.

Lemmy is about as good, if not better than reddit afa software experience goes. Maybe embedded videos would be nice, but it doesn't come with the deluge of garbage that reddit does.
