It's a British woman who has a (worthless) Ph.D. in Reddit studies.

But seriously, how likely is it that some random woman with next to no karma (I used to get more than she has overall in one month.) gets control of every Covid sub?

Quite likely. People do not get mod positions as a result of karma, as that is bestowed by the users. It's other moderators who decides who gets to be a moderator.

Either she doesn't exist, she doesn't know the account exists or she has strong ties to some shady organizations. You don't just luck into power like that.

Whenever I point this out, people claim that I'm playing the victim or something - but in all honesty, it's not luck unless you have a hard-on for stomping on people's necks.

But they all do.

They get one ounce of power and go crazy!
