> Keeping Reddit real

> What appears in Reddit Reviews is shaped by Reddit communities, not paid placement. Businesses can’t pay to have products featured. Volunteer moderators enforce community rules, Reddit’s Safety team enforces sitewide rules, and users vote on posts they find valuable or that don’t add to the conversation. Together, these safeguards help limit spam and inauthentic activity.

Needs that XKCD of piled up blocks with volunteer mods and volunteer communities as the base.

Thank god reddit is well known to cater to and foster both of these groups with only positive things to be said about reddit leadership.
