Think this case in particular is pretty interesting. Former default subreddit and one of the largest on the site (Top 20 at least).
I think /r/videos is where we’ll see how things actually play out with the reddit admins. I’m guessing at some point the admins will step in and replace the mods.
In fact, this has happened many times already, and most people don’t know about it. One I remember personally was r/PresidentialRaceMemes in 2020. They made some bullshit accusation about the mods making posts to increase activity (literally how Reddit itself started), removed them, and installed some tool from r/Neoliberal to ensure when the primary wrapped up they would all fall in line. They turned the place into another dull, harmless replica of r/PoliticalHumor.
Reddit makes an assessment about whether it can co-opt political communities which challenge official narratives. If they can, they will attempt a mod coup. If they can’t they’ll ban it.
