Come on, like they aren't all on the take from political parties and advertisers.

You are completely right, I forgot about that.

Idk man. Ideology is a hell of a drug. People get wrapped up in shit to the point they’d give their lives for what the believe is a just cause. Free labor is hardly implausible.

Look at the unpaid volunteers that Carole Baskin uses (if you don’t know who she is, watch Tiger King). They ain’t on anyone’s payroll.

Gallowboob got paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why would other powermods get paid zero?

Tell me with a straight face that the mods of AHS (who work for the SPLC) or r/politics (who work for ShareBlue / David Brock) do it for free. Those companies are on Reddit to sway public perception and you get what you pay for.

I personally know a couple of r/politics and r/worldnews mods and they don't get anything. I loathe AHS but I know one of them is a day-laborer for carpentry and construction.

If there is any pay, it wouldn't be a direct line, it would be more along a side-gig that none of them spoke about anywhere.

From manipulating content, hidden ads etc

I mean, there's publicity, sponsorships, more roles and recognition among mass media so it's convenient for them
