Because calling internet moderation "unpaid work" is intellectually dishonest. It's a hobby, at best. They know they're getting paid, just not with money. They get paid in the only currency they actually care about: arbitrary internet police power. Whats funny is most of them probably hate actual police for their arbitrary abuses of power. As soon as admins threatened to "fire" them they largely fell in line because they know for each degenerate power tripping reddit mod, theres 100 degenerate lurkers who would happily replace them. They are fully aware of that fact, and that's why threatening to remove them worked.
