Mods used third party tools to help them with their unpaid work. These tools relied on access to the reddit api.

Then reddit charged ridiculous prices for api access, which would mean the apps would need money, so mods would need to pay to do their unpaid work or use the inferior reddit interface.

Given these choices, some mods decided to leave instead.

Reddit enhancement suite still works on old Reddit, so if you need decent tools, you can still mod from your computer. But no more moderating from the toilet at work. No more moderating on the bus.

One subreddit I still occasionally visit is now only moderated on the weekend. You can imagine how the quality has dropped
