    I suspect they think a Modbot can replace human mods. I doubt it so the job probably gets outsourced to underpaid workers. I dont think any new volunteers will hang around long if faced with an angry community.

      Compare Quora for a moment. Now it’s basically Yahoo Answers with all the good answers being years old. They basically did as you propose Reddit will (Modbot, fire human moderators). It seems that Reddit might just go the same route.

        Yes - 2 years ago I was getting sick with Quora, now I can’t visit the site because it’s just a stream of spam/repeated questions most of which can be answered with a ten second search.
