I used to moderate several subs with over 2M subscribers and while being a Digital Janitor can take a lot of time and effort at the end of the day its just volunteer labor and with Reddit in particular it's volunteer labor to help a commercial entity.

Society would be better off if these kinds of mods would use the time to volunteer at a soup kitchen or something.

If it's a community you're passionate about, I don't see the issue myself.

Seems like many are doing it for the sake of modding though
