Of course they did. That's the reddit business model.

A handful of people who mostly delegate work to slave labor (volunteer moderators) and only take action themselves to monitor and maintain the slaves.

Reddit employees have no purpose other than to crack the whip at moderators.

Volunteer moderators aren't slave labor. The essential evil of slavery is “involuntary” not “unpaid”.
