MODERATORS
If you're a public moderator (eg. on reddit) you get thanked if you're doing a good job.
But not nearly as much as you get verbally abused or defamed.
There are (or were) definitely some subs that were harder to moderate than others I'd imagine.
Gaming subs: Easy
Ask subs: Intermediate
Location-based subs: Hard
Political subs: Ironman
If you did politics I think reddit should have had to compensate you for the years lost deleting all the hate and bs.
