I don't think they actually think they'll get backpaid, it's more the principle of the thing. You're saying Reddit isn't earning the money it should, how about all the free work mods have done over the years to make Reddit into anything worth monetising?

They all ran Reddit into the ground and made it a husk of its former self. Funny joke BANNED, not a democrat BANNED. Oh you don’t love power-tripping, that’s definitely a BANNING. Fuck em all.

You do realise that those powertripping mods are the ones getting the spotlight. The quiet ones that sweeping the rules-violating posts, bigotry, spambots, pornbots, too frequent reposts, etc.

Are just staying behind the curtain ensuring the posts that reached the frontpage fits with the forum.
