MODERATORS
Depended on the sub, some were actually pretty well moderated (though a lot weren't)
That didn't stop the circle-jerking, romanticism, and ignorance of the sub's participants, or the ridiculous and inordinate amount of positive and negative karma coming from subs about weevils, for example. Easy karma just for posting 'aww lawd, here we go again' in r/bedbugs. Post a pic of a steak in r/steaks with 'cast iron' and 'reverse sear' and get easy karma too. - Post the same steak or even a much better one with 'tri-clad / air fryer' and get nothing. -First-hand experience with a crappy AI generated steak and one I put in an air fryer for 25 minutes at 180F before finishing in a tri-clad. -Edge to edge medium looking better than 99% of theirs. -lol. (The karma system is shit)
