How do you maintain a site like that today? Won't it need an army of moderators?

Had a mate starting some sort of a pastebin / blog site and it wasn't long before people started posting questionable content and he had to be on top of it so that the hosting provider doesn't suspend his account. That took majority of his time and he basically couldn't get time for anything else and site wasn't bringing enough money from ads to hire staff. On top of that common theme was someone posting adult content and then reporting to Google so that they would block ads.

I guess having paid accounts keep people who are up to no good slightly at bay.
