I agree with you, and some mods are actually Reddit employees. I have had an account permanently suspended by a Reddit employee mod, because he could.

It's not true that all mods are volunteers.

As an aside, the paid Reddit mods are likely to be on the side of reddit being profitable and able to pay their salaries, and thus support price hikes.

Especially in an era of layoffs.

I'm speculating here, I have no insight myself.
