MODERATORS
 

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?

Anyone who still works for free for reddit, has some self worth issues. Bein a volunteer in a non profit is one thing, volunteering for a corporation trying to squeeze last penny from user generated content while actively shitting on users, is a strange thing to do in my book. Moderators should just all quit.

Yep it can be the law in some places.

I know a music festival that gave free tickets for volunteers in return for 5x8hr shifts. As the festival was a limited company (not charity) the minimum wage laws of my country kicked in.
