Any subreddit that gets on "/all" regularly is owned by a few megamods, and their point is to make reddit money with advertising, not to be a useful community.
Even if they wanted to actually be a useful community, the tools mods get on reddit are woefully unfit for purpose for communities of millions of people. You cannot have a public forum with that many people. The human brain is just not built for it. Perfect moderation is impossible
Others have noticed the very same effect and felt disenfranchised by it.
In some subreddits your post gets removed because the title didn’t end in a period.
It results in subreddits full of boring recycled dreck, because the smart folks take their ball and go home.
