And how are they going to take over a sub? The mods can still see and deal with their stuff if they're effectively spamming a sub
But a large number of subs are already echo chambers, if the mods are onboard with it you were never going to change that anyway
Your argument seems to be that it will create a specific problem, but that problem already exists and there are already easier ways to achieve it

I never said they were spamming a sub. I said they are "power users" that submit a lot of content. The content they submit may even be high quality.

The broad problem of Reddit not being a trustworthy site due to heavy manipulation is a problem that already exists, yes. But this change creates new ways that make it so much worse.
For example, there is one power user who is also a mod of a large sub. This person is totally corrupt and manipulative. Myself and others have pointed this out when they participate in other subs they don't mod. This user could easily true-block us and thus no one in other subs finds out about this person's problematic behavior.
