If you're a public moderator (eg. on reddit) you get thanked if you're doing a good job.

But not nearly as much as you get verbally abused or defamed.

There are (or were) definitely some subs that were harder to moderate than others I'd imagine.

Gaming subs: Easy

Ask subs: Intermediate

Location-based subs: Hard

Political subs: Ironman

If you did politics I think reddit should have had to compensate you for the years lost deleting all the hate and bs.
