Are your questions meant to be a brainstorming on how an ideal site compensates Moderators or something else? A site like Reddit is depended on users visiting and generating content (discussions). Moderators are just middlemen that facilitate those discussions. a site like Reddit probably doesn't value the idea of moderators very much because anyone can become a moderator. Moderators aren't influencers, so they don't move communities. The value of a community are of the people that participate in that space and the biggest draw of reddit is that its easy to participate in multiple communities at the same time.

this! a brainstorming session on this. on my previous post - lot of people had great ideas and i figured we’d get some more here.

What are we brain storming though? How to build a platform / site to pay moderators? But even before that, why would a regular user go to that site in the first place vs somewhere like Reddit/Facebook Groups/where-ever?
