It's amazing to me that so many people are willing to work as unpaid moderators so that Reddit's investors can make more money.

Ideally, it would be because they care for the community they moderate, which I believe is the reason most mods do it.

Then you have creatures like awkwardtheturtle, who knows what motivates them.
