    Reddit requires moderators in order for the business of Reddit to function.

    no they dont. they literally have a system to democratically promote or suppress posts.

      No, I mean Reddit runs entirely on subreddits for its business, and the infrastructure requires a moderator to exist to create them.

        Reddit could operate without subreddit moderators. The main reason mods exist is to remove abusive users and bots, both of witch could be handled by the vote system.
