I'm not saying we shouldn't have teams of people filtering this kind of comment. We already do. The issue I have is with the marriage of one specific moderator team to the board/subreddit in question. Comments like yours are the easy ones, automated tools will usually catch it (and it looks like they already did!)

When it comes to tricker cases, like with political content, some people have different preferences and those preferences are just that: a preference. If I want to view into a subreddit downstream of a politically-minded set of moderators, I should be able to do that without locking other people into the same view. Right? It doesn't mean that teams aren't all going to universally remove spam.
