I think what OP meant was something like: "I've been getting abused by people promoting OF content. I assumed they were doing this because it made them thousands and thousands of dollars and they were making a living doing it, but if they're only making $145 per month from their OF account, then why do they care so much?" (The obvious objection here is that nothing in the linked analysis suggests the people abusing Reddit mods are only making $145 a month from OF, and in fact, the analysis seems to be pretty clear that the median active creator on OF is making much more.) As for your comment, I did not downvote you so can't explain why other's might, but I assume it's because you seemed to have misread the comment in an uncharitable way.
