That's not a problem specific to reddit. It happens because only a small portion of people step up to moderate. You'll see the same dynamic play out in all leadership roles whether you're talking about reddit, your local government, volunteer organizations, open source projects, etc.

You can be part of the solution if you step up to be a mod.

Some of those Mods on reddits Moderate dozens of subs though.

I think if they simply ask for mods though, they'd get some.. I'd be happy to mod, but, there might be better candidates
