MODERATORS
Controversial take, I don't think mods need to be paid. You don't have to be a mod, you're actively choosing to be a moderator. If you aren't getting paid for your work and dislike that, then don't do it. There's always going to be someone willing to do it for free, like a hobby.
I also agree. But for a for-profit company like Reddit, there should be a threshold for certain subreddits that require mods to be paid.
That is, for a major/popular subreddit like pics the mods should be paid by Reddit.
For a minor subreddit like r/hotgirls whowanttohavesexwithgcanuck the mods can be unpaid.
Why are there minors on that subreddit 🧐 (kidding)
