    It’s almost like moderators were highly skilled workers in a very, very small niche. It’s as if a company that sold highly specialized training for prenatal brain surgeons, started a campaign to discredit every single prenatal brain surgeon in the world and force them all to lose their jobs, then attempted to fill in every one of those jobs with middle school theater kids.

      Are… are you a prenatal brain surgeon?

      moderators were highly skilled workers in a very, very small niche.

      Let’s not pivot 180 degrees here. Mods were not the chosen ones by any means. In fact some other breaches of trust that Reddit plagued its users with were specifically because of how much power mods had and how they abused those powers. Maybe some mods were actually knowledgeable about the field, but there isn’t really any reason to extrapolate.
