Reddit didn't take it away from them. They decided to stop. People were moderating subreddits looong before any of these apps were available.

And it's fine that they decided to stop. People have to move on from things eventually when they decide that they no longer feel sufficiently rewarded.

I could likewise not mow your lawn anymore. I don't owe you the mowing any more than you owe me payment for mowing that I did for myself at the time. You might have come to rather enjoy having a mowed lawn, though, so maybe when I stop you'll hire someone else to do it for more than it would have taken to keep me doing it. But that's at most a miscalculation.
