Oh I agree it might be a good thing for the site. But it will be an incredible expense that I’m not sure the company can even afford. As well as the fact the site might not even be compatible with paid moderation. Every other social media lets users just post whatever they want as long as it’s not a site wide rule violation. But reddit thrives on moderators curating communities to a certain quality level.

It’s easy for paid mods to remove abuse and illegal content. But it will be much harder for them to filter out off topic or low effort posts.
