That makes some sense. Are they paid for this?
- GauntletWizard 1y agoBy reddit? No. By the users? No. But they are paid.
- KronisLV 1y agoYou’d like to substantiate that? I’d love to have someone pull the curtain back and learn by whom, if that’s the case.
- Workaccount2 1y agoI don't know about money, but they definitely get ego strokes.
- GauntletWizard 1y agoMany of them are using their subreddits for submarine promotion. Here's a public example: https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/547wxd/comment/d7zmfmo/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/547wxd/comment/d... There's much worse that's "pure speculation", because a few thousand unemployed losers that nonetheless have six figure incomes aren't suspicious at all. See the kerfuffle when the mod of r/antiwork went on Fox News, where several of the other power mods alluded to their true incomes and professions (they know what they are - PR people) when trying to boast about how they'd have done better.
