Reddit tried to control the narrative by dividing and conquering users. They inflamed some valid criticism about bad mods but ended up ostracizing a lot of "internet janitors" who were blissfully doing the job for free. The mods thing also became an issue because mods keep subreddits clean so ultimately the impact to the mods impacts the users, regardless of the user's app of choice.
