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.
