It's fine to do that kind of work for free for the sake of creating and maintaining a nice community for something you enjoy. It's like charity work.

The problem is that there's a big company that's profiting massively from this 'charity work'.

Yes. When volunteers work for free to filter the content that reddit owns, reddit’s product becomes more valuable.

Even using Reddit by commenting or creating posts is doing free work to the financial benefit of Reddit the corporation.
