Imagine how valuable his account can be. You can single handedly guide the narrative by yourself.

Somebody posts an article that Teslas keep catching fire? Delete that guys article from world news, from local news subbredits. From engineering subs and tech subs.

Oh, there is a rising post on the frontpage but it's from the competition newsletter? Delete it and post the article from my sponsors website.

100% there are people willing to pay a powermod for some shady businesses

No dude 100% this, this has been an open secret that if you piss off one of the power mods, even if you didn't break rules, you will be mass banned from like 80% of the top subs on reddit
