Has there been any indication that reddit may pay creators and moderators, like youtube and meta and other platforms do? or are they just expecting to pocket all the cash?

    In what universe is paying people for something they are willing to do for a free a sustainable business model?

        Youtube has advertisers on individual videos which requires more moderation than endless text posts.

        Or to put it another way; video advertisers ask for a lot more than just crappy spam reddit post ads.

          That’s probably why YouTube has such a hair trigger on demonetizing, removing, and copyright striking videos.

            Yes, and also video/audio content is much more ripe for copyright claims than image/text content, since it’s all owned by giant corporations. For example the music version of all the art bots now was only trained on royalty free/copyright free music… I wonder why.
