Why would anyone actually want to be a Reddit moderator?

Kevin Bailey2 said:Honestly, I think some moderators on Reddit act this way just to compensate for feeling insignificant in their actual lives.
Moderating gives them a blatant sense of power they clearly lack in the real world.
Obviously, I’m not talking about everyone.
Just a few specific people.
And as for those others who don't turn moderation into a "power trip"...
I have no idea what drives them.
Maybe they actually just enjoy being helpful... 🙂
This post pretty much sums it up. I couldn't agree more. =)
