There's been quite the uproar lately around how platform moderators are positioning their role. They're pushing back pretty hard, insisting they deserve recognition similar to celebrities or major content creators, citing the mental load and pressure that comes with the gig. It raises an interesting question: when volunteers or community stewards start demanding influencer-level status in exchange for their labor, what does that say about the sustainability of community-driven platforms? In the Web3 space, we've seen different models—some communities thrive with transparent incentive structures, while others struggle when governance feels one-sided. Worth thinking about as crypto projects build their own moderation frameworks.

ngl, the moderators' push for influencer status is a bit ridiculous... the community is built on trust after all.

NGL moderators expecting celebrity treatment is a bit outrageous... the community should support each other anyway.

Honestly, the idea that moderators should have celebrity treatment is a bit outrageous... but I can understand it; managing a community is indeed exhausting.
