It is a much better (and more honest) way to manipulate users using the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Instead of blackmailing Mods to stay by saying “you have invested a lot of your time into this subreddit, it would be a shame if something would happen to it”, they could say to users “you are already paying for the ability to use Reddit, you might as well use Reddit”.
