That full screen email sign up box is flagrantly annoying. Asking twice (follow up popup) even more so.
All that aside, this is pretty scummy. It's nothing more than a formula for "How to be a shill but not appear to be".
The only interesting part is this allegation:
> Pretty sure that some moderators take payments to allow sponsored posts. Hard to prove but have definitely seen some self-promotion posts pinned to the top of subreddits as moderator announcements ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Would love to see some evidence on this. I would guess it exists as well so more out of curiosity of the examples than lack of belief.
