Some of those mods have serious egos too, they think of themselves as like gods of reddit. A while ago some of those dudes modded 25-30 of the BIG subs.
One super mod chirped back on me about a question I asked after a warning or something, he answered like an asshole, and I replied I'm not sure what you just said there can you explain? Mod replied back with basically wtf did you just say to me?! I was basically like I technically didn't do anything. Wild behavior - convo is a tad hazy was from years ago at this point
There needs to be some kind of review/appeal system for this kind of behavior. There's way too many subreddits for it to scale though.
But yeah, this site is designed to be manipulated. I've seen some real questionable stuff on niche subs.
That's why you see astroturfing and manipulation, even in major subs like cryptocurrency, If you say anything not aligning with their narrative you get banned. You can't even link to posts in that sub on other subs.
