I'm not aware of reddit's admins having a large hand in curating site content, though I also haven't been heavily into reddit for a while.

I doubt reddit itself runs the bot farms that enable modifying public perception.

I suppose it's more about the power mods, sometimes with help from the admins, aggressively suppressing certain ideas while allowing others to flourish. So maybe they don't need all those 2000 people...
