>I propose we double the jannies' salary
"They do it for free" is a phrase referring to the action of performing some menial, boring, non gratifying or useless task without a reward in return. It is comparable to doing your job without receiving financial compensation. It's use is commonly associated with Jannies who do moderation work for the astounding pay of 0.00 venezuelan pesos.
Usage and Etymology[edit | edit source]
The phrase has spawned from the decades old struggle of regular internet users against jannies, which probably has existed ever since somethingawful or something. The phrase represents one commonly nooticed elements that jannies receive no pay for their work that they spend hours a day doing and can be easily considered unsatisfying, repetitive and monotonous, comparable to the work of a real life janitor. The difference is that irl jannies actually receive money for their work and are like, important or something, otherwise you would live in filth.
The phrase represents the deep philosoyphical question that comes from the existential crisis of being a moderator. As many have come to the conclusion that doing things for free is only good when you enjoy the activity in question, known as a hobby o algo.The problem stems from the fact that jannies probably get actual enjoyment of being cucks online, which highlights their terminally online characteristics.
It is also worth noting that jannying can be mentally scarring due to being exposed to 'p. However, that issue is mitigated by the fact all jannies are pedos that goon to the 'p that they are supposed to remove. They also might be exposed to gore and other illegal or weird content, but doesn't matter since they goon to that too.
This observation is commonly said on 4cuck, discord, reddit and the sharty and other smaller sites where the jannies actually do it for free. It's important to note it can't be said on xitter or tiktok since the jannies there are paid employees (they are slowly being replaced by ai doever).
