Ads. Not as sinister as you might've been thinking, just the standard revenue generation.

If you're talking about subreddit moderators, they don't receive any payment. Subreddits generate revenue for Reddit, through ads and Reddit Gold, the mods don't get paid by Reddit at all.

don't get paid by Reddit

That's an important distinction. There are already plenty of examples of mods astroturfing their subreddits for other companies.
