And so many unpaid moderators... Which is an acceptable trade when the site isn't cashing in on your work.

The API was a fair trade. When they killed it and decided to make LLM money, that was it for me. It wouldn't matter if they paid me for my contributions (which they aren't, they want redditors to pay for their exit with stock), the API and free access was the social contract. Its gone. Reddit can fuck off at this point.
