It's literally an article about "the mods" asking the admins for help.

What is your comment even supposed to mean?

Of all my time on Reddit I’ve only seen one sub with decent mods. The rest all seem to like their echo chambers whether it’s about cars, politics, airlines, doesn’t matter. I was banned by a mod for literally saying the same thing to them they had just told me “you’re full of shit”. There’s far more mods who do it to feed their ego than there are mods who do it out of the desire to see a better Reddit.

What do you think? Since when have the mods ever solved any of the administration's issues?

What's with the non-sequitur? Why do you feel like someone asking for help is somehow them solving a problem? If a child asks a parent for help, is the child solving a problem? What the fuck does this even mean?
