Certified Reddit Moderator

CERTIFIED REDDIT My husband is the moderator for a few different subreddits, and he genuinely thinks it’s a job my husband refuses to look for a job even though I think it would be good for him (And we could use the additional income), but he just says he’s, “got too much on his plate already”. That being monitoring these stupid subreddits. And Everytime I bring it up he claims what he’s doing is unpaid labor similar to that of a homemaker. But he doesn’t clean or cook or do any of that the way he used to. He just monitors his stupid subreddits. I don’t know what to do. Sometimes I want to leave him because I believe I may not be able to reach him. I'm seeing many bigoted comments down there so I just want to make this clear: any hate towards moderators will result in a permanent ban from this subreddit with no warning. This includes, but is not limited to, calling moderation a "fake job" or saying that we "do it for free". Moderation is one of the most useful jobs to society. Behave. Or get banned. REDDIT MOMENT

A screenshot of a Reddit post shows a woman complaining that her husband moderates several subreddits instead of getting a paying job, while insisting that moderation is unpaid labor. The moderator’s defensive comment threatens permanent bans for anyone calling moderation a “fake job” or saying moderators do it for free, making the situation absurdly self-important. People send this as a reaction to stereotypical Reddit moderator behavior and exaggerated online authority.
