So what, give the CEO half and pay the rest to the mods? Like 1300 bucks per year without tax and fees. What would be left? 50 bucks per month? Reddit has like 75000 moderators. Some for huge Subreddits, some for small ones. Equal pay? Or what?
Someone has to organize all that paying, many are in different countries, different tax laws. In the end, there would be like 20 bucks per month for each.
You then would also require extra heavy checks for moderation quality to ensure they are worth their pay. You'd need systems to prevent abuse. If there's money involved, people become extra greedy. Just pay some of them? Only the ones working a few hours per day? Pay per moderating action? What?
Or you just do double pay for the CEO. Seems like a no-brainer.
"Our business model sucks and we don't want to do the work to pay the people who perform labor for us. Therefore, our CEO deserves a hundred million dollars."
We're high IQ tech bros who deserve to be paid millions, but you can't expect us to work out basic management and payroll techniques literally every industry has implemented!

Yeah, makes sense. Carry on.
But if we actually pay the moderators we have to double and triple check to make sure they earned it.
