Money. Moderators are expensive and if you want it to be any good you need people from the culture you're moderating to understand the context of what is and isn't abusive in a given language. It's also an absolutely terrible job because you're just sifting through the absolute worst of the content on the platform all day.

Generally either the users or the admins are unhappy with the moderators of any given subreddit. They're on possible way around it but not a particularly good one and it's less likely to scale because there's not the same "ownership of a community" feeling you can engender in Twitter where there's not really an equivalent to subreddits to give volunteer mods control over.

And reddit has not solved the problem.

To many, reddit is just as unpleasant, and in some cases worse than twitter.
