That would still be an enormous task for a single person. Let’s pretend they really only had to deal with not more than a single post from each sub every week:
1,000 comments/posts per week = ca. 142 per day. If that mod takes as little as two minutes to read and properly reply to each of those, that would amount to a daily 4-5 hours of unpaid work in their spare time.
Turtle was active on Reddit about 16 HOURS a day so it was certainly possible. Of course they didn’t actually do much of anything in those subs, they just collected them.
Could be if each gets like 1 new comment/post per week

16 hours?! Ouch. But judging by some other comments in this thread, that mod didn’t actually properly moderate either way =P
Trust me, there are plenty of mods who do that. Reddit relies on addiction for free labor.
Why would they need to reply to every post? I think most of them would take maybe 10 seconds to validate.
they were a moderator of some of the most popular subreddits, so it was definitely more than that
