There are some subreddits which are more seperate from the mod team (How much does it really matter who runs r/aww? It can run on inertia for a very long time, for sure), and where a very small contributing group can provide content to a much wider and more casual reading group.
But then there's some where the mods and other highly active users are a more active part in making it what it is. Think subs with weekly book clubs, or game challenges, or what not organised by the mods. Is Reddit going to get staff for all these niches to deliver the same level of experience? Probably not.

- SuperShibe 3y agoActually, they do. A Reddit only consisting of r/AskReddit, r/aww, r/pics and r/tifu provides less value than just using Instagram/Twitter. Most of the casual users I know use Reddit for a few small meme subreddits and topics that are too small for their main-platforms. If those are down, Reddit is dead to them. (Of course Reddit could try to send their staff each down a different rabbit hole to fit them into the communities. This would be fucking hilarious. I hope this doesn't happen but if it happens, I'll have my popcorn ready.)
