Reddit has shown they’ll replace mods when they actually need to (or want to).

But, their business model doesn't work unless those mods are working for free. So, while they may replace mods, unless people keep signing up to work for free to help a for-profit company deliver value to its shareholders, eventually it's going to collapse.
