Note that the difference here is much more ridiculous: there is no co dependence because reddit doesn't pay moderators anything.

Therefore management tries to excercise their power over nothing(?) in costs.

Costs can be more than money. Mods are exercising their power. Reddit is responding with their own power. Both sides are just demonstrating they have power.

Both will ultimately recognise the limitations of their power, which may ultimately be a lot more, or possibly a lot less, than they believe.

True. Some mods are an exercise in pettiness

I don't think that's an internally consistent way of looking at the situation.

Additionally I imagine 90% of reddit traffic is in the top subreddits which already have corporate-controlled moderators who don't care about any of this
