Just saying - the things you list here have much less basis than almost anything else speculated on in this thread. Are you actually against speculation or just speculation you don't like? (1)
WOTC also sells Magic the Gathering. If you are not aware of what they did there then read up on it. It's bad, 'evil' as you say. Pure corporate greed that actively harmed the game. (2)
Keep in mind, most of the people being critical about the OGL 1.1 changes and the more monetization announcement actually like 5e D&D. (3)
1) I hate the spreaded negativity. So I did speculate as you do. You can speculate. I can speculate. From my point of view both positions are equaly valid until we know more.
2) I tried to read it up. I could not find anything evil. Maybe I missed something, but if you refer to putting out the 1k set you can't use to play, no that is about as evil as selling a sheet of linen with some paint on it for 1k...
3) Not from what I gathered. Some people have hate against WotC or corporations in general. Some people have reasons for leaving no good word on 5e. The video attached to the opening post was just ramble how much he hates 5e. Sad...
So, speculate as much as you like. But right now, IMO we have not seen enough to draw our pitchforks and torches.
We could actually benefit from more monetization. It means they produce things we want, for prices we can afford.
