But. They get free clicks from social media. How does social media get any ad revenue from them? Social media get a title and a synopis maybe.

How is it not mutually benificial?

https://youtu.be/L6A1Lt0kvMA?si=Cuhyl_9I_7AIu8bu is probably still valid today. Destin is pretty calm compared to people like Brady about it, but still, "exposure" and free clicks aren't as useful, and technically giants often steal with their own players before actually linking.

Okay that's different though. Thats stealing someones content and reuploading. It isn't posting a link to a news article which then goes to the news site.
