I suspect they're already moderating more subs than they lead on publicly. I see no way the big subs that have remained open aren't being moderated by someone on Reddit's payroll.

That means they'll let these subs go dark, claim they're unmoderated (even though they could take over them right now), and expand their internal moderation team.

I keep seeing this sentiment everywhere. There's absolutely zero support for it, whatsoever, other than that folks can't possibly imagine that most of reddit's value is built on the back of volunteers.
