The moderators who run much of the site are not paid directly, but they're definitely in league.

Powermods took over reddit a long time ago. Hell, I'd go so far as to say reddit secretly promoted r/the_donald and other extremist subreddits, and had a direct hand in getting him elected.

Has this been posted on Reddit itself anywhere. I'd be interested to read users comments

I appreciate this sentiment, but I would not advise paying moderators straight out.

Yeah, need to tax the shit out of them and make the profits a social benefit. Fuck the rich. Eat the rich.

Jannies are gonna janny. When resetera was sold off and the jannies still decided to work for free you know that they get paid in power. Same with the reddit jannies and the api fiasco last summer.
