    A full time job they volunteer for because being a mod makes them feel special.

      Some people really just like flexing whatever Tiny Iota of power they can get and mod positions are perfect for them, at least until they mildly disagree with someone who is either in the right or at least just has a differing opinion.

      I’m fairly cynical and think that many (perhaps even most) do it for that little shred of power. But some do it out of genuine passion for a project. I’d be more inclined to suspect the former for controversial topics and anything political, and the latter for subs that are related to fun topics and hobbies.
