I honestly don't understand. Reddit hasn't ever treated their mods well and will never pay them. I only see upside to going down with the ship lol

I've never been a mod but I guess people do it because they like it, or they like how it makes them see themselves. They might join a protest for the same reasons. Being demoted and becoming a nobody, on the other hand, doesn't sound like much fun.

A lot of them are paid by companies they can promote on Reddit. It’s a huge payola astroturfing game there.
