Damn, OK.
That's a laughably low amount. If it were that cheap, reddit would throw out all unpaid mods and do it themselves. That's less than 1% of their revenue, and they would have total control over their site, that would be a bargain. That would be 200 minimum wage workers full time. I'm pretty sure 200 fulltime workers is waaaaaaaayyyyyy too few to moderate ALL of reddit.... (and this is just looking at time investment, never mind experts in their field moderating subreddits about very specific topics.)
Reddit boasts about 400.000.000 users, so with 200 mods, that would be... 1 (minimum wage) mod per 2 million users... Yeahhh... that's gonna work XD
And the biggest advantage of Reddit is that you have a variety of communities with a variety of rules. Some don't allow off topic posts or comments, some vet every single top level comment.
If these were all paid employees, they couldn't keep up with all the various rules of every sub, and they certainly coulent spend the time needed to see what rules need to be changed to shape the community to be something productive and valuable.
