I guess the fear is that they'll monetize others' content without giving anything back. Like imagine if there was Reddit2 that just took all the content from Reddit but didn't add their oc back to Reddit. Basically just leeching off and your average user would be incentivized to join "Reddit2" since it had all the content that Reddit has and more. They'd slowly drain users from Reddit to Reddit2 and THEN monetized turning everything to shit (you can use your imagination how'd that look).
