I like high quality communities, which cannot maintain quality without staff, and which would probably struggle to maintain any funding.

One example of a community I became a moderator for was one which often had trolls occasionally show up and post obviously malicious content, and commercial ad spam. Due to timezone differences, these often took hours to be deleted.

So it wasn’t about morality, righteousness, money or power. It was about me wanting to develop a community I cared about.
