Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@[email protected])

I dont get why subreddit mods work or worked for free for a company that makes money from what they do ……

Because some of them find value in building a community, because humans are quite social.

Look I get it but some of these people going to work for free are just screwing over everyone else who wants to get paid for their value. Also it leads to corruption in that the mods of places find a way to get paid anyways.

Probably same reason people go crazy for power, no matter how small of an amount

You can make money doing it, you just have to have extremely loose morals.
