uh..... why should i pay to moderate on reddit (i am the current mod of a sub) when reddit is earning out of my generosity? sure i can and am able to decide if i quit but is there no shame in admitting that without my efforts, reddit would be no better than 4chan?
Let them bring out new people, heck i'd rather jump ship and technically i already have but these new people should know they are and will be spending time and energy and paying reddit to give them the privilege to moderate reddit while reddit earns money. Till now, reddit earning from donations, awards was for survival of the site while all the mods volunteered to keep it a nice place. No one was making money, everyone was working as a community and people were keeping reddit alive by donations.
now, reddit gets to earn while we (or someone else) gets to work for their benefit. nice.
its like they took the concept of gig workers and paid them nothing. heck, the gig workers are being made to pay to do the work. great business
