And to reply in a single comment: Reddit is nothing without its moderators. The moderators create engagement through their hard work. You can take a great topic, and it will die in the hands of bad mods. Reddit owes its entire existence to its mods. The equivalent is Twitter or TikTok's algorithm. Reddit has tricked thousands upon thousands of people to do the hard work for free. They SHOULD get paid by reddit. Or, maybe reddit should adopt and non-profit structure and never IPO. But the idea that all these reddit employees will eventually become millionaires on the backs of free labor is disgusting. It's funny how HN loves to shit on Lyft/Doordash/Uber for exploiting drivers, meanwhile if reddit mods get paid it's somehow dishonorable. For the record, Uber gave shares to some of its best drivers upon IPO.
