Dunno. But I think it's worth keeping in mind that people give spez free labor because he actually has the leverage for it, for now, and the unfairness of that isn't their highest priority. What I'd like to see is better tools to help users have an easier time using more than one site/network at once, so the prospect of contributing to something other than Reddit is less daunting for typical users. I'm on Reddit, Lemmy, and some other sites, but I don't really expect most people to be comfortable building a routine of checking a bunch of different sites regularly, or switching entirely to a site without the amount/quality of stuff they want just out of spite or altruism.
