In terms of the sitewide reputation of Admins, and how Mods specifically see them, it is going to take years to repair that ruined relationship. They have squandered and ruined any remaining goodwill they had with the moderators who have a clue, and only once in a blue moon will their announcements be taken seriously.
Speaking as someone who attended ModWorld. It was awful. Corporate and saccharine. Admins are literally the embodiment of the crying behind the smiling mask meme. They live and act on the website as if they aren't using the same one we are. One of the most sickening aspects of ModWorld was when Spez jumped in the chat and absolutely hijacked the segment (which was interviewing the mods of a large food based subreddit that I can't quite remember) derailing the entire thing. Putting polls in the chat *"100 upvotes and I'll change my username to u/FuckSpez"*. This man doesn't have an ounce of humility or regret for what he did. It was a pretty bad segment as well, so his hijacking of everyone's attention did not help.

I also attended ModWorld, and your assessment is spot-on.
