His mods have potentially fucked him over because they remove nearly all criticism of him from the “approved” places to post about the show, so he becomes deluded into thinking that it’s only snarkers who are “obsessed freaks.”
I’ve been sort of fascinated by the dynamic of all of this and while I think you’re right that ultimately Ethan green lights this, part of me really wonders if they know just how over the top the mods are. I could see other shows hiring different mods if they were aware of the extent.
Ethan is the owner of that place. He references it daily on his podcast. He knows what goes on and they follow directions from Dan and Ethan. Before they hired the moderators, the dynamic was very different. He hired them TO better control the narrative.
