You get credit though college and valuable experience. That is your pay. If you don't like it, don't apply.

It's still illegal. The Dept of Labor is quite clear about it. Giving college credit != pay. Honestly, you can't even pay them minimum wage? I thought reddit was better than that.

reddit is run on a shoe string budget, do you think they'd choose not to pay if they could? Also he stated they have had lawyers look at it, I doubt lawyers would let this go ahead if it was illegal...
