One reason would be mislabeled videos. There was a tactic used on torrent sites by film studio contractors to upload fake torrents with just noise/blank/different to frustrate pirates. Then they'd use a botnet to upvote their torrent.
As to "why"... Why does EEVBLOG exist and why does it have moderators? Some people just want to help out and volunteer.

I was going for a bit of humor, but it seems there are no viewers of "Downton Abbey" here.  Maggie Smith had one of the best lines of the entire show.  "What is a weekend?"  It's much, much better in context.

I'm just not getting it.  Someone will volunteer to enforce posting guidelines that they may not agree with?  No, I'm not getting this at all.

That's the well intentioned theory.

In practice (without turning one of my own threads into a political one), it seems the team of do gooders at the top, running it all, such as the BBC.  Throw out their own agenda, for everyone to accept.  With potentially significant apparent differences, to the general populations ideas on how society should be and act.
