That's probably because it's retarded.
Moderators don't create content.
Content creators go where content consumers are.
Any mod that leaves, any subreddit that is deleted (like r/crappydesign) is usually immediately filled by someone else willing to do the job, or another sub (r/crappydesign2) takes its place.
Reddit, as a system, is fine.

Moderators don't necessarily create content, but the "vocal minority" are the ones upvoting/commenting/posting content. Its a larger group than just moderators, so the comment is a bit disingenuous.
Your last bit puts out a chicken and egg problem, why go somewhere to consume content if there is nothing there. People posting interesting OC are what always make sites and its rung true since usenet. You anger those people at your peril.
