compete with each other. Towards the end of the day if I post something to r/programming it will immediately go to the front page of all r/programming subscribers. So while it's true that sub-par and rule-breaking posts already do most of their damage before the mods even see them, the whole theory of posts competing via votes alone doesn't really work in a lower-volume subreddit.
* Because of the mechanics of moderation it's not really possible to allow the subreddit to be say 5% support questions. Even if we wanted to allow it to be a small amount of the conten, the individuals whose content was removed would experience and perceive this as a punitive action against them. That means that any category we allow could theoretically completely take over r/programming (like the career posts from last week) so we should only allow types of content that we'd be okay with taking it over.
Personally my dream is for r/programming to be the place with the highest quality programming content, where I can go to read something interesting and learn something new every day. That dream is at odds with allowing every piece of blogspam and "10 ways to convince your boss to give you a raise, #2 will get you fired!"

If you don't understand why a particular practice is used, you risk going down the lane of "hype-driven development".

Nearly 25,000 tech workers were laid off in the first weeks of 2024. Why is that?
Silicon Valley executives have said the cuts are a result of pandemic over-hiring and still-historically high inflation. But others say something else may be behind the mass layoffs.
