If meta-moderation powers were assigned randomly and uniformly, this could be gamed by just spam-creating tons of accounts. Any system that accepts user input needs to have a robust answer to the question "What if a significant percentage of my users are actually bots under control of a single person?"
You could disincentivize them by having access to the metamoderation queue behind the subscription. Thus it's $2/mo/user account.
I wonder how much would a government intelligence or defense department who controls millions of bot accounts be willing to pay per month in order to have even a small percentage of power over who gets to mod (for example) r/ukraine?
Considering 1 patriot missile costs several millions, it would be pocket change.
