    Mostly I think it started as a show of how much reddit relies on the free labor while giving reddit an out, but as time goes on I’m inclined to believe it’s also because mods know that if they “abandon” the subreddit, the admins will just open the subreddit up to new moderators a la r/redditrequest

    There are already subs that have had users request being put on as mod despite barely becoming inactive.
