I think it should be said that Reddit moderators might not be paid in money by Reddit, but they get a probably substantial amount of compensation in a different form of power/influence/opportunities. Imagine if you're the moderator of a subreddit like /r/politics. You might not get a steady corporate paycheck, but you effectively get global political influence and power and probably more than a dozen serious offers by corporations, politicians, and likely even nation-states to not block/ban their spam of products/services/propaganda on that subreddit daily.
