That's how it usually goes, one person works and creates something, then some other person makes a shitton of money off of it

The people who argue against copyright need to understand that one of the functions of copyright is to prevent companies with deep pockets from taking the profits you deserve for your hard work.

"people who argue against copyright" tend to be pretty well informed on the history of it, and aware of the way it's used today. Generally, they argue that it is not performing that function, and may often work the other way around.

One of the advantages of copyleft, shame the only people who only know about it are the weirdos who use Lemmy.

I'm not sure how official "copyleft" is, but it reads like the creative commons licence which which falls under copyright.

So yes, one of the advantages, and explicit purposes, of copyright is that you get to maintain control of how your intellectual property is used.
