TECH STORY - A study revealed that the moderation activities done on Reddit by the unpaid moderators are worth a minimum of $3.4M per year. These volunteer moderators make sure that inappropriate content which includes issues such as hate speech, racism, etc doesn't spread without control on the social discussion website. Reddit got ~$100M as revenue in 2019. Therefore, the amount of work done freely by content moderators on Reddit is close to 2.9% of Reddit's annual revenue.
