shouldnt mods be paid to do the work of reddit, in moderating reddit subs?
- bdcravens 4y agoWouldn't this mean that all mods should be chosen by Reddit? They would also have to go through the usual processes (verify identity for taxation and age, ensure not a citizen of an embargoed nation, etc) I know the argument is that content generates revenue for Reddit, but there's no shortage of subs where the mods actively suppress content that doesn't fit the subreddit's goals. In that case, the mods are working against Reddit's interests, and "working for" the subreddit.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoi have been a mod for half a dozen for the past 8 years. the general expectation was "everyone is doing this out of passion and everyone is enjoying the result." why should i bother now? i am doing unpaid labour for reddit and they are no less charging for the time i put in so why should i not be reimbursed?
