The good that comes from inside Reddit is the curation, as much as everyone likes to complain about it.
They have become more proactive about banning hate and grief subreddits and have a system for reporting and shadowbanning bad faith individuals. If anything one could argue they come down a little too hard on borderline controversial subs but it's such a tough line to walk.
By five totally unaccountable mods, all pushing brands for money?

That curation is "The good that comes from inside Reddit"???
The unaccountable, power-abusing moderators that are being discussed in this thread remove posts and ban users completely arbitrarily. If these mods had a rule system like r/AskHistorians and applied them as fairly, there wouldn't be nearly as much concern over the issue.
HN has a decent amount of curation, too. Been seeing a lot of flagged and deleted posts these days...
