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?

Anyone who still works for free for reddit, has some self worth issues. Bein a volunteer in a non profit is one thing, volunteering for a corporation trying to squeeze last penny from user generated content while actively shitting on users, is a strange thing to do in my book. Moderators should just all quit.

I don't know about you, but I was raised to have self worth issues. It took a lot of b.s. to break that.

Sorry to hear that, nice that it got better. I was lucky with my parents.

Yea I say that to my s.o. all the time. Her parents are awesome and smart. I got lucky through her lol. I'd be a poor little something otherwise fr. I'm super thankful that I even have people that love me at all yknow.

Glad to hear, the family we choose is for quite some folks more important that the one we get born into.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I love my family. They were just young, and got thrown to the fates really. I was too much, my sister too.. Living beyond our means in hopes of attaining something we actually had along, but never aware we actually wanted..

My chosen family are definitely more my peopleso to speak, for sure. That's only natural though.

Yep it can be the law in some places.

I know a music festival that gave free tickets for volunteers in return for 5x8hr shifts. As the festival was a limited company (not charity) the minimum wage laws of my country kicked in.
