That's not the same. The mods work out by their own choice, and usually have no bills to pay for this work. Reddit on the other is a company, and has bills to pay. And Reddit is not tiny. Not sure how big their costs are, and what they earn, but from my understanding, it's not a money-printer wasting bills on golden keyboards and parties, not are really profitable yet. So they are probably on a thin line, still struggling to survive long term without external money.
