<i>Yet, one of the biggest instances of Reddit not having the resources it needed can be seen with its community moderation. The site is huge, and has a very active base of users, which makes it difficult to police when people share things that are against Reddit’s policy. </i><p>This isn't accurate. There are enough moderators, but the core issue is with transparency. Reddit's policy is more laissez-faire, in which admins won't take action unless you a) get caught breaking Reddit's rules or b) get caught violating common decency <i>by the media</i>.<p>When Reddit closed The Fappening after the publicity was on the downswing, many users asked "If The Fappening is closed due to obscene content, why are other <i>worse</i> subreddits not closed?", which is a fair counterpoint. Wong clarified that it was due to DCMA requests, but then stated that it's the user's responsibility not to share bad content.
