Not exactly right. Admins step in to large subreddits and take action when the mods are working against the wishes of the members of the community.
For example, when No Man's Sky launched, there was a problem with the mods, and Reddit staff stepped in, removed the mods and brought in an experienced mod to run and assist the subreddit.
What you say is against what Reddit staff did. /r/antiwork is big enough that the admins would help keep the community and bring in new mods.

Nope. The No Man’s Sky mod was removed because they permanently shut down the entire subreddit with no intention of reopening it, which I literally mentioned as one of the reasons admins may step in.
That’s not what appears to be happening here. The subreddit has indicated it intends to reopen soon and should that happen it’s unlikely admins do anything

It's not exactly right because the admins are admins and are basically free to do whatever they fuck they want guidelines or not. We don't need to pretend like rules mean anything to them, they made them.
