Open Source seems less and less appealing everyday

(Sorry if this sounds like a rant but here I go) Guys, I'm a young developer. It hasn't been that long since I've reached adulthood. So yes, I might lack maturity. But thanks to how the development space is changing, to me at least, the future looks more bleak than I guess it would look to a 45 y/o senior engineer.

So my question as someone young, who contributes to a bunch of open source repos every once in a while and does maintain a bunch of his own repos, what is the point of maintaining open source projects if the same projects would be used for training models SPECIFICALLY TARGETTING TO PHASE ME OUT ?

That's all. Please do understand that I'm trying to ask a sincere question and lack the experience and maturity to come up with good answers myself. Thank you.
