Honestly, having done it, being a mod on reddit is such a thankless endeavor. You're absolutely swamped with bots, influencers baiting engagement, absolutely vile humans posting hateful stuff, etc. The mods are overwhelmed so they bring in automod and start giving it overly strict instructions. Good contributions get removed by mistake. Good faith posters get tired of waiting for approval, so they leave for elsewhere and you're left with the same repetitive posts.
You, as a user, only see one side of it. I'd quit, but I don't want to let down good people who are making an honest effort to keep the sub a nice place to be. Some part of me hopes I catch another site wide shadowban for vpn usage, and I have an excuse to put my account to the torch and start over as just a normal user
