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?

It’s a tough thing to configure. How much do you pay. Do you pay on volume or on difficulty.

This is an interesting idea. Reddit was created at a time when creator monetization wasn’t super common (beside ads on a blog).

Now, with tictok and the like, revenue sheeting with creators isn’t that weird.

I can’t just wait for the karma mining options to begin. Maybe people could repurpose their bitcoin mining rigs to run LLMs to create new memes. After all, they were trained on Reddit data.

I wish. I will keep complaining about them not paying mods. I just don't get why it doesn't even really get brought up.

Idk, why do you think mods should get paid? Reddit still has a dedicated team of admins and other that just run the site from the shadows that do banning and removing of illegal/ stuff against tos. Mods choose to run a community and like the feeling of power they get from it. They don't have to run multiple or any, they can always leave it up to vote if they want someone else to be a mod. Being a mod can be full time or it can be 10 minutes a day clearing up your small subreddit. Also each community can have many mods so why should reddit pay those that don't want to add more?

I'm sure it'll happen around the same time that Discord moderators begin to get paid

Isn't that what Community Points / reddit Cash or whatever the fuck they were going to call it was? IIRC, they were supposedly backed with Ethereum or some other cryptocurrency. I don't know whatever happened to that program, though; like so many other ill-considered reddit ideas (RPAN, anyone?), it seems to have just faded quietly into the background and disappeared.

Was it going to be payed out to mods and creators ?
