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'.

Reddit makes something like a dollar fifty per user, per year. They're not actually making a huge amount of money off their user base.
