I think you overestimate the number of people willing to take on that job. The vast majority of people lurk. Of those who are active, most just comment. Of the remainder, most just post. It's a vanishingly small group who actually want to moderate given the time commitment and all the headaches involved.

You don't need the 'vast majority' or 'most'. You just need a few.

Not really, more people thank you seem to think are desperate for any sort of internet power.


Valid point, you may be right, there may be a lot of potential mods out there if you're not worried about quality.

But Reddit doesn't need shitty mods. They need good mods. Shitty mods kill communities.
