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?

They got no money to do that.

And the details would never work. Most submissions are just links to other sites, or reposts. There's no way to differentiate actual quality content or OC. For mods, anyone can create a sub to become a mod, or appear busy by doing random nonproductive things.

yeh, im aware of that. nut surely they have backend data on interaction. i made the point elsewhere that interaction doesn't necessarily equate to the work a user or mod is doing, but i still feel something is better than nothing.

Then they get their buddy to post bad shit so they get paid to remove it. To much room for abuse.

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.
