    Exactly. Reddit mods and Wikipedia admins both get to be kings of their little fiefdoms. The power/pride/whatever is payment enough, otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it. They are intrinsically motivated.

    Being a mod for something you are passionate about is intoxicating. It is an awesome feeling to know you’ve contributed to the growth of something you care about.
