> I follow a handful of subs. And I can't name a single mod of any of them.

I unfollowed all of the default subs, they're just not interesting to me. I use reddit for a few technical subs, a few local subs, and a few off-the-beaten-path funny subs. None of them even made the list of top-however-many that showed how they all had a few mods in common.

All these critical articles seem to assume that people consume the default reddit front page, and seem to have little relevance to the platform as a platform.

These people don't just control the big subreddits. r/programming is controlled by spez for example. Not that he would have a problem with just changing the Reddit database manually anyways.
