> Amici moderate the social media platforms r/law and r/SCOTUS on the website reddit.com. Through content curation and careful moderation, they have built and maintained a significant audience interested in viewing and constructively contributing to these internet forums.

I would argue that the reason these subreddits are successful, has little to do with the moderation, most successful subreddits are simply successful because they have good real estate. They were simply the first to snatch up the common nouns "law" and "SCOTUS".
