> But it's important to remember that no copyright at all would hurt small and medium creators immensely.

This doesn't refute the tweet. You're just saying you want a monetization strategy that enables an information business model that you like (small/medium creators) instead of one that you don't like. It's still not a moral right, and your belief that the law should help artists is not innately superior to a belief that the law should help Disney or that the law should help corn farmers.

Additionally, it's arguable that copyright is needed for small/medium creators to succeed. Most successful independent creators monetize through patreon or personal commissions, neither of which are actually hindered by lack of copyright.

nowhere in that commenters post did they mention preference, they made an observation. You're the one trying to apply feelings to it.
It's not so much an observation as it is a claim. You can't observe something that isn't there, after all.
