In the early 2000s, Community Leaders (unpaid volunteers who 'worked' as moderators on AOL) sued AOL for compensation for their work under the Fair Labor Standards Act. They won $15 million.
All volunteers should do the same. StackExchange mods, Reddit moderators, etc. Stop working for free to advance the financial interests of these for-profit companies looking to exploit your labor.
