    The moderator culture in America and probably abroad relies on unemployed people living in their relatives house who get paid nothing but lame perks here and there. That is the bulk of it.

    Some people moderate 5+ chat rooms daily without pay.

    They are digital slaves. Make no mistake about it. And they somehow have been conditioned to believe it will pay off when it rarely does.

    Spez is a shitbag who never did anything but be in the same room with actual important people.

      Don’t you dare compare Reddit mods to slaves. Slaves don’t have the option to quit work, mods are doing it by choice.

      Nobody is forcing them to do it. If they are unhappy about it they should stop doing it. And preferably come to us not getting paid.

      … we’re volunteers.

      Some people do community clubs as a way to kill time with casual acquaintances. I have severe social anxiety so that’s not a desirable option. Some people do sports. I’m a cripple. Some people do church shit. I hate hymns and I don’t believe in God.

      So I moderate. And post.
