      That would still be an enormous task for a single person. Let’s pretend they really only had to deal with not more than a single post from each sub every week:

      1,000 comments/posts per week = ca. 142 per day. If that mod takes as little as two minutes to read and properly reply to each of those, that would amount to a daily 4-5 hours of unpaid work in their spare time.

        Turtle was active on Reddit about 16 HOURS a day so it was certainly possible. Of course they didn’t actually do much of anything in those subs, they just collected them.

        Why would they need to reply to every post? I think most of them would take maybe 10 seconds to validate.
