I agree. But also the content and quality of their work would likely be better if they were paid. Probably a much better value to Reddit than Spez having a yacht. Or Spez
I don’t know if I agree. Reddit doesn’t seem to have a huge issue with “bad mods” atm (despite what the community says, the website is more popular than ever). I struggle to think of a way to pay mods that wouldn’t absolutely fuck things or immediately drive it into a system where suddenly all these users are trying to maximize their profits or bribe existing mods to be part of the team in order to get Reddit money.
For instance, some large subs operate with only a small handful of mods. Others like the askscience sub operates with literally hundreds of sub-mods. Does each subreddit now need a guild accountant to determine who gets what money?
I don’t like Spez, but I really dont see paying mods as making the site better in any capacity for end users
Mods volunteer… I don’t see the problem here.
