So how difficult would it be to update the library to include a blacklist to those big corpos taking advantage of your code?

Easily done with licences. Corpo is scared of licensing.

I really like the GPL license for that reason. Take it, use it, be merry. But don't you dare use it in a closed source project, and you have to give me credit

Credit and release any changes you made to it. No freeloading.

Just use a GPL license instead. It allows use with credit, but requires that usage also be released for free. Meaning that it can’t be used by corpos and their closed-source projects.
