Honestly I think subreddits go bad after about 150k no matter what the moderation.

The scale of the moderation required may need more than volunteer labor.

Maybe but the population itself becomes retarded past a certain point.

All the really really big subreddits are well moderated, cordial, etc and nonetheless full of complete philistines with no taste.

I’d guess when you consider all the people who have the free time to sit down on a site like reddit and post and comment, they are probably like 12 years old on average.

Subreddit numbers have got to be bs and inflated now adays. 800k people in the community and five new posts a day the highest with a couple hundred votes. Seems legit.
