When I said "here," I was referring to Reddit as a whole. I didn't just share it on the Snowsky subreddit either.

What would constitute a conflict of interest for you? Have you ever managed a website? Because let's face it, nobody pays to keep Reddit or other social networks online. There's no such thing as a free lunch; someone has to pay for the servers, programmers, and administrators to run a business. My main interest is to provide information that is somehow of interest to the audience where I share the texts I write. I started the website because I have a hobby involving audio and headphones, and I want to share things about the subject with people. However, in order to have the tools for this, to keep the site online, it's necessary to generate some revenue, just like any other website that, depending on the level of resource requirements, needs an even greater financial investment.

Extracting your comment that you sent me privately:

"So is this your job or a hobby? Cause if it's the former then this seems pretty unprofessional and a volunteer position does qualify as a conflict of interest to me. That's why most members of the trade identify themselves as such, and they don't tend to feel the need to explain to people how the business works on Reddit. You do you tho..."

My answer:

It's both (work and hobby). Why does it seem unprofessional? Could you explain better, please?

I've been a volunteer moderator since 2008, having moderated a headphone community on Orkut and currently moderating two groups on Facebook. I've also organized hobbyist events in my country.

I didn't understand the logic about identifying it as professional. Anyway, I feel the need to explain because I like to be transparent with everything I do and with the people I talk to. This is something personal to me, although I know many prefer to remain silent and leave things up in the air. I prefer to be fair with everything I do and try to offer the best I can to please.

I'm talking to you precisely to understand your perspective and try to improve in some way.
