The admins pay their rent doing what the execs tell them to do. Much as I would like for a system where the moderators also got compensated for their work, not being so lends them independence from the platform, and allows them to be more responsive to their communities.

I get why some of the admins are doing it, but “just following orders” has never been a good look.

Sorry for using your comment as a springboard to soapbox. >_>
