And then who will moderate them? Does Reddit have 18,000 employees ready to take over? Or a bunch of scans waiting in the wings?

  Surely there is enough people who would apply to take position of power in subreddit. And plenty of them would ignore any principles for that power.

    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.

      > vast majority > Of those who are active, most just comment You don't need the 'vast majority' or 'most'. You just need a few. > It's a vanishingly small group who actually want to moderate 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.
