Mods work for free on reddit

• MichaelZuo 3y ago
  They work, for free as it appears from the company's accounting department, but they are earning money through other means. My hunch is that the Apollo founder would be unwilling to participate in the same schemes.

    As a moderator on reddit, I can assure you it is in no way lucrative. It is just another thankless chore with no monetary upsides.

      on a default subreddit or a niche hobby forum?
      • velcrovan 3y ago
        not a default one, but does it matter? what's the play here?
        • MichaelZuo 3y ago
          The default ones have mods that earn money, which would likely need to be factored in to an Apollo style replacement, that's the point.

            They make money, but not in an official capacity (and perhaps, not even in a way that complies with Reddit TOS).
