My only question is: why?

Edit: maybe a second question: are you asking for a code review?

Anti Commercial-AI license

You know that "anti commercial AI license" shit does nothing, right? It's the equivalent of idiots posting that wall of text on Facebook a decade or so ago saying they don't give Facebook permission to use their pictures, posts...etc.

I mean if it makes you feel better and gives you a sense of control in an otherwise out-of-your-control environment then I suppose go for it, but you're not actually accomplishing anything other than making yourself feel slightly better and more deluded.

I think it's quite different. On facebook, you have accepted a ToS telling that facebook now owns that data. Also, that "movement" was against facebook, the platform itself.
Here you haven't accepted a ToS that wants to use your submissions for whatever they please (or did you?), and also, this movement is against outside parties, not the platform provider.
