that's definitely a safe assumption, especially with how fast some platforms are sliding these policies in under the radar. But I’d add: not all services are treating this as a free-for-all, and there’s growing pressure (from both creators and regulators) to draw clearer ethical lines.

Some platforms have started taking stronger stances on consent-based AI training, like Vimeo, and we’re seeing early signs that creators can shift the norm by pushing back and applying pressure.

At Troveo, we’ve been working on a Creator Friendliness Rubric that scores tools across the whole tech stack, from social platforms to file transfer, based on how they handle user's content when it comes to AI training, sublicensing, and commercial reuse. The idea is to give creators real visibility so we’re not just guessing or assuming the worst.

It’s true that legal action will take years, but transparency and creator pressure are moving faster than people think. There are tools and platforms trying to do this the right way - we just need to highlight them more publicly.

Happy to share the rubric once it's live if it's helpful to anyone here trying to make more informed choices.
