In particular, third party apps like Apollo are popular for moderators because the default tools from Reddit are just hard to use, especially on mobile. Thus, I think the big impact to reddit's model is to actually drive off a lot of moderators. i.e., I've seen a lot of comments like this that makes me think this is going to be a real problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/comment/jmeijl4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/comment/... Personally, this is what bothers me the most; subreddits that are strictly moderated are usually useful, and ones that aren't are just not worth regular time. This is also why I'm not really sure about usenet or any other replacement, because moderation is still the hard problem to get right.
