At first glance I don't see reddit's mods role much different from Twitter community notes contributor or even a wikipedia editor. On the other end of the spectrum you have paid content mods at alphabet or meta.
Yeah, wikipedia is a non-profit and arguably provides a more universal value: so what?
Each model has pros and cons, for the org and for society. I'm not sure if one is always better than the other in any context.
But one thing is clear: the unpaid model invariably leads to an authority-centered model where power over other participants is the payment token. That's how it's been in wikipedia and reddit.
It seems in their new war, reddit want to wrestle that power back to them.
