Controversial take, I don't think mods need to be paid. You don't have to be a mod, you're actively choosing to be a moderator. If you aren't getting paid for your work and dislike that, then don't do it. There's always going to be someone willing to do it for free, like a hobby.
I agree with you, and I think it's a controversial take only in the activist spheres of western online intelligentsia, while frankly most of the world doesn't think it's a real problem in the grand scheme of things
