Jobs that either don’t contribute in any meaningful way or jobs where one would be better off if they were paid to be on call.

    Reddit mod.

    But on the other hand the employment criteria is just to be mentally challenged.

        Yes, actually despite claiming to be volunteers, mods of large communities on reddit are frequently offered decent sums of money for going along with shilling/advertising. That’s why many tried to become mods of hundreds of major subs, not for “power”.

      Most people don’t run into any issues with mods online. If you’re constantly running into “asshole” authority figures in online communities it might be you…

        Nah reddit mods are actually awful. I would tend to agree with you if it were a bunch of random mod teams but reddit is almost entirely controlled by a small group of powermods who get off on flexing their minute amount of power on an internet discussion forum. Truly awful people who contribute nothing to society by taking over small communities so they can use their power to indiscriminately ban people they disagree with.
        The only incentive to become a reddit powermod is power.

        Sometimes, sure. But with ~15 years on reddit I have run into some power-tripping mods before… /r/portland, for example - I mainly agree with their politics but when I didn’t they’d delete all of my posts and then shadowban me. Not allowed to disagree.
