- PepperdineG 3y ago>How can you demand monetary compensation for working on an entirely voluntarily basis? It's actually quite easy. There's much ink regarding this issue as this has come up regarding Internships and the like, so is nothing new. As a new user I don't know what I can link to off-site, but there's for instance specific rules in California for what is allowable for unpaid internships and if that's not met, those volunteer interns can file successful unpaid wage claims.
- was_a_dev 3y agoI'd argue this isn't similar internship, while an internship is voluntary work, it is under an agreement between the "employer" and "employee" In this case there is, at best, an implicit agreement. But moderators are under the same terms and conditions as all users. Does that mean as a user, I can demand back pay for generating content on Reddit via posts and comments?
