How is it even possible to mod even a handful of subs well? And how does anyone have that kind of time? Are they paid?
There are believable conspiracy theories, some say companies pay them to remove bad comments about their products, or politicians to push certain ideas.
Imagine a sub about gaming but all negative comments about certain games are removed.
There were documented cases where this kind of manipulation could be observed but I'm not aware that it was ever proven.
They’re there for the power, not the responsibility. And yes, they’re paid by Reddit to do Reddit’s bidding.
