With companies taking advantage of Free and Open Source Software far more often than they contribute back, and harming users in the process, is it even worth working on anymore?

FOSS is definitely not worth it if you are doing free work for a company. But its very much worth it if you are making something thats useful for normal people. Obviously its not always easy to distinguish the two, but the AGPL license is a huge step in the right direction.
