Those are details that can be organised on a company by company basis. It could be built into the original encorperation contract. I’d expect an automatic union would be created amd get some portion of the company over time based on milestones or simply time. It can done countless ways.

Well, I see. And it sounds great. Unfortunately, I really don’t see it ever being a viable system to foster the development of products in the likes of YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook etc because no one would want to put in the work it takes to get of the ground to begin with, just for it to be forced out of your hands when it finally starts growing. The innovative brain, the skills (like programming for example), the business mind, the pure motivation, everything needed to create the foundation for such massive corporations, why does anyone else deserve a piece of the payoff just for being an employee?

You say that on a social media platform built by volenteers, doing it for donations. People do things for lots of reasons, money is only one of them. And not even the strongest for most people.

Do they make a living off of it? Are there any famous influencers based in Lemmy promoting brands?

Some of the devs do. I don’t know any people famous for being on Lemmy yet. It’s too small still, and network effects keep people on the larger services. But does any of that mean it’s not possible? No
