Some because of the power, others because they love the community so much. In my opinion, if a company doesn't respect or like you don't work for free for them because of some misguided sense of community or duty. Only do it for the powertripping then.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Some reddit moderators are genuinely selfless and interested only in helping and serving the community of users who rally around the subject matter they are passionate about...and so as long as the majority of the community are on reddit, that is where the moderators will devote their efforts even if it means a more difficult job starting July 1.
This top level post comes across as a passive insult to reddit moderators, and I'm sure some reddit moderators deserve it, but a lot don't.
maybe to show that Reddit is the bad page of the internet, dont know, i am not a mod
They like the position of power over other users and it's worth more to them than being treated well by the platform.
You are preaching to the choir. Early adopters have been leaving Reddit over the years for all the known reasons. I will be demodding myself from the last two subs by end of the month. And GDPR-nuking my account after data takeout request is through.
Wouldn't it be more effective to simply delete whole subreddits en masse? Not only would that spit in spez's face, but it would drive many to other sites like here. Or am I missing something on account of being a low tech old fart?
It would be safe to assume reddit has backups they can load up in that case.
Crap, I hadn't considered that. Thanks for the info
