Especially /r/iama. Didn't they already confiscate the subreddit from the old top-mod that wanted to completely shut down the subreddit?

There's like what, twelve admins who actually deal with the community? And the rest are what, tired sysadmins keeping this house of cards on top cardboard boat of a website afloat? I dare them to do the default mod's jobs, they all would be resigning within the week.

This firing was done *precisely* so they could take over these default subs with paid advertiser accounts.
