I'm not sure this is really 'paid' work in any meaningful way. Most Reddit moderators are upholding community standards, enforcing subreddit rules etc.
The fact that the community is online doesn't automatically mean it should be paid. My step-dad runs a bowls club, he enforces the rules, manages a (modest) budget for the club, and schedules matches, etc., all without pay. I don't think he'd try to say this is 'work', it's his hobby, and I doubt the idea of trying to take a salary for it has even crossed his mind.
Same for Reddit moderators - they're volunteers who take part in managing a community they care about because they enjoy it.
