In order for moderations to be sustainable and high quality, you need a large number of people who are: (a) intelligent, (b) unbiased, (c) willing to volunteer their time without compensation, (d) happy if someone else makes a profit off their work, & (e) willing to do the job forever.

There aren't many people like that.

More typically, they don't understand (c) or (d) in the context of moderation, or (a) and/or (b) are lacking. And once they do understand (c) and (d), (e) evaporates.
