Main points: He plans to make moderators popularly elected to more easily vote them out.

Hopes the next frontier will be subreddits as businesses.

He does not want Reddit employees to take on the work. Moderator hours were valued at 3.2 million last year, 3% of reddit’s revenue.

I meant reddits current rules, not what they might become.

I thought it was against the rules for mods to profit from their subs. If the mods of /r/pics started posting McDonalds pictures because McDonalds paid them reddit wouldn't like that at the moment.

Not saying it isn't happening either, you'd need proof to do anything though.
