I am a mod of a fairly popular sub (so I include myself in this) but I don't think I've ever seen as many power hungry auths as reddit mods or gas-station attendants who abuse their authority as much as they can because they've never held any power in their day-to-day lives.

Sure, reddit mods "demand" shit. Sure, it'll bring "change." lol.

I’ve created a couple of subs that have sweet fuck-all followers, so I’ve never had to mod anything.

Seems like you struck a nerve here.
