    He feels entitled to their labor for free, simply because he thinks he deserves free labor.

        Agreed. The mods get the status and power they want. Spez is going to get a shit ton of money.

        I wouldn’t do it but I have a life outside, many of them don’t.

            If it was a paid position, most the mods would be gone since that couldn’t do as they pleased. The company would be libel for their behavior.

                Imagine a company running like that. lol That is why I think their IPO will fail quickly. It is just a cesspool of bots, weirdos and very little productive anything.

                I never really used reddit much. I always found it to be idiotic extreme on both sides of the table. I am fairly moderate with a few hot-button issues, but I would have a beer with about anyone except Reddit mods.

      In reality, he’s entitled to it because they keep giving it to him. Why? I could only guess at their reasons, but it is what it is.
