They're not defending the CEO, it seems, but rather shift the blame onto volunteer mods who put in the hours into sustaining a commercial platform rather than joining a "community-run" one. Which isn't making it a better argument, since there are many reasons why online communities form where they do, and "community-run" platforms aren't necessarily an option. This platform isn't "community-run" either, and yet the parent commenter is participating here (and thus is "the problem" too), so I think they should get off the high horse.
