The moderators of Reddit’s IAmA community are significantly reducing the amount of work they do to help solicit and coordinate AMAs with celebrities and high-profile individuals.

“But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we’d be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.”

Hope they charge big bucks for that highly specialised training they've offered.

Seems like Reddit will have the income to pay those moderators. I’d love to see mods ask for compensation to run the site since they are now a for-profit organization.
