do the admins get paid to moderate e621 if not is there
1) a site bonus like being privileged

Yes.

2) is it because they really just love this site

I'm not sure "love" is the most accurate term. But something like that.

3) is it for a personal reason.

Personally, I like the content on the site, and I like its atmosphere. I also like being a part of maintaining the quality of those two things.

There is no money involved.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to drive my transforming sports car boat around my private lake.

I thought it was a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 with a pinch of what Munkelzahn said

It probably goes like this:

1) Admin likes to use site.
2) Admin doesn't want to wade through bullshit while using site.
3) Admin helps to keep bullshit off site so they don't have to wade through bullshit while using site.
