The unpaid labor part especially hits home with me. I have a REALLY niche background and have tons of notes and blogs about it. I'm in the process of becoming a lecturer since I love helping out. But it feels like i'm doing free work for a company that despises me when I post technical things and guides. If I post anything odd, like a post about anticheat in a videogame, it gets removed and taken down by reddit mods. Despite it being very educational.

It's especially bad because of how rampant auto generated text is in security research, If you google "PDF Malware Example", it will give you 50 web pages with all the same copypasted text with code that hasn't work since 2004 where they first ripped it from some dudes blog.
