How do we feel with our content being federated one-way to ClubsAll? (lemm.ee)

In reference to this thread:

Tl,dr:

ClubsAll is a closed source platform which fetches Lemmy content
ClubsAll however does allow Lemmy instances to federate its communities (!clubsall@clubsall.com gives an error, see https://lemm.ee/post/44491669/15374449)
Comments from ClubsAll do federate to Lemmy communities: (https://lemmy.world/comment/12828092 / https://clubsall.com/posts/what-food-and-or-drink-will-you-eat-when-you-are-senile-and-forget-you-already-had-it-the-meal-before-oD_s4)
It is not possible to host a ClubsAll instance at the moment

What do you all think about this?

Personally, I think it's quite unfair for them to federate all our posts and comments, and make their platform appear busy, while they don't allow federation of their own content, and they don't allow self-hosting either.

If we imagine what could happen in the future

As they are on ProductHunt, they manage to raise a few millions, hire devs, develop every feature you can think about under the sun
Fediverse users move massively to ClubsAll to enjoy the new features, Redditors move too because it's better than Reddit
Over time, due to those new features and other "technical reasons",, federation with Lemmy and others becomes clunky, or completely stops
Meta / Google / Reddit buys ClubsAll and start to look how to extract a profit from the large userbase, enshittifies the mobile app, the web interface, etc.

Seems to bring us back to the current Reddit situation with extra steps.
