Cats are fricking awful pets.
They:
do not want to be your pet.
will knock over all of your shit.
are awake at times incompatible with humans (nocturnal).
can give you a serious infection if they scratch you.
WILL scratch you for no reason at any time.
MIGHT allow you to pet them once every month, but will scratch you for no reason afterwards.
They are the lazy man's pet, and a bad one at that. Rats make far better pets than cats if you're so lazy you can't get a dog.
Dogs will:
love you unconditionally.
let you pet them whenever you want.
never hurt you.
protect you from intruders.
devour the annoying neighbor's toddler.
teach you to be more responsible, hold a better daily routine, and even get your fat butt some exercise.
usually not break your shit.
Obviously there are poorly trained or aggressive dogs but even the most well-behaved cat will be aggressive.
Dogchads, post your w's over catcels.

Nah I move too much for pets.
People who let these filthy animals roll around their homes, spreading fur and filth are just subhuman
Then their dogs are just constantly pissing all around town on people's sidewalks

Marsey is a 2d cat. Like 2d women being better than 3d women, there's nothing wrong with 2d cats.

Cats are more fun to play with and watch move around. It also means a lot more when a cat wants you to pet it and love on it. This is coming from a person who grew up in a dog household

If the only things anyone did were things people paid them to do, the only things that would ever get done are the things the wealthy find profitable. What a sad world that would be.
Some of us volunteer at parks.
Some of us volunteer at soup kitchens.
Some of us volunteer advice and knowledge.
Is this really that much different?
Yeah, Reddit is a for-profit company. It's still worth it to volunteer moderation duties to ensure that people have a corner to discuss and debate without having to worry about bullies. Sure, it would be nice to get a free subscription to Premium or something, but that's not going to be the main motivation.
I use uBlock Origin. This is my way of paying back the site. Well, that and all the awards I give away or generate.
And believe you me, I very much enjoy moderating bullies and keeping vulnerable populations safe from their bullying. Clicking "ban" on some random racist so they can't call someone names? Ohhhh that's payment enough.
