Reddit mods are quite far down the list of "people I have sympathy for". Arguably (?) they play a role in keeping out spam/off-topic posts, but there's a reason reddit is often referred to as a hivemind. Mods play a big part in that.

The common ones are flexing their ego or being ideologically driven. Some genuinely like the topic they're moderating, but they often get burnt out by how shitty the job is.
