I agree, it's already happening. The Media Bias Fact Checker bot is another example. Nobody I've interacted with wants it, it is functionally useless and inaccurate, and appears to be a cash grab (though we can't know for sure, because the mods refuse to openly discuss it with users). We live in a capitalist society, so even platforms like Lemmy are subject to its pressures, and require active pushback from users to prevent profits from taking precedence over user satisfaction on larger instances.

Is this happening on Lemmy? I haven’t seen it
