They work, for free as it appears from the company's accounting department, but they are earning money through other means.

My hunch is that the Apollo founder would be unwilling to participate in the same schemes.

As a moderator on reddit, I can assure you it is in no way lucrative. It is just another thankless chore with no monetary upsides.

The default ones have mods that earn money, which would likely need to be factored in to an Apollo style replacement, that's the point.

They make money, but not in an official capacity (and perhaps, not even in a way that complies with Reddit TOS).
