Reddit has become one of the internet’s largest open archives of authentic, relevant, and always up-to-date human conversations about anything and everything.

Reddit CEO ~~Steve Huffman~~ says

But refuses to pay the users or at least moderators who build Reddit to what it is now. Instead, it pushes more advertisements and sells data to AI companies for millions of Dollars.

Also hinders mods, users and especially disabled people to do their work.

I can't even really blame them, to be honest. It's just a shame it has to be this way

I've made a note to ask for the pay when I see mod postings. Luckily I'm finding more and more mod postings so there's lots of opportunities to remind mods that they're lining Reddits pockets for free.
