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?

According to spez it would only cost them ~3.5 million to pay all the moderators at $20/hour ๐Ÿคท

That works out to 84 full time mods (40 hours weeks). I don't believe that. Can you imagine a staff of 84 modding the whole entire site? And set up a weekend shift and that number goes down.
