Genuine question: Do Reddit mods get paid for being mods? Someone here posted a link to all the sub-reddits in question. These see so many posts generated all day. Im actually curious how someone has so much time to go through them. Is being a mod their full time job? Or more of a side-hustle/interest?

There's a conspiracy theory that the mods of the really active subreddits get paid to promote particular sorts of content - not by reddit, but more like a sort of "sponsorship" sort of thing. The alleged sponsors range from corporations to the Chinese government.
