MODERATORS
OK; he has such a need for control that he modified toxic comments directed at him.

You might not like Ellen Pao, but it's funny that the NBA sided with her comments against him in 2020:

When moderators protested in 2023, Spez compared them to Landed Gentry.

Reddit was founded in 2005. In January of 2008, Reddit decides to let users create their own custom reddits, or subreddits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Reddit
So the Landed Gentry are from 2008 + (15 years). How many Parent-to-child hand-offs can you really expect in that time?
He belittles volunteers (moderators). He has manipulated the site. He is currently scrubbing the site of disparaging comments about himself now.

He is not someone to volunteer your services for. Moderation is like gardening. It's a never-ending activity of pulling weeds.
You listed a lot of great reasons to hate Spez, and none of them are that he's disabled. I said in my comment that there are plenty of good reasons to hate Spez, and that hating him for being disabled is a bad reason. It seems like we fundamentally agree on the premise that Spez is a garbage dickbag, and why. Since we agree so strongly, maybe you could edit your top level comment to remove the part where you call him a narcissist. That way we can focus on bad things that he's done rather than an alleged disability.
Ok, I have edited my comment to "*Spez exhibits unlikeable characteristics. Why volunteer for someone who exhibits unlikeable characteristics?" better now?
Thanks
Narcissism has existed long before the DSM. I'm not certain why it should be inferred that someone is disabled or have NPD if they are simply a narcissist.
Because the term "narcissist" entered the public discourse as a shorthand for "person with narcissistic personality disorder", and that's what pop psychologists, self help book writers, and lifestyle gurus mean when they say narcissist. That's where the word's use in pop culture comes from. It refers to a person with an ego disability.
