Has there been any indication that reddit may pay creators and moderators, like youtube and meta and other platforms do? or are they just expecting to pocket all the cash?

    I mod a relatively large sub. The only thing that annoys me, is there’s a lot of really helpful content on there. Educational. Medical. Just general community vibe. I feel bad for users. I mod, for other users and for the community.

    Not for power or fame or to lick the bum of some corporation.

      The problem is it’s that kind of altruism (plus the power/fame stuff too) that Reddit are exploiting. The regular users are the collateral.

      It’s similar to how big companies put barely paid customer service agents as first port of call, so you feel guilty for being mad and never go after the big guys.
