Even if they manage to field and pay for the manpower required to moderate these vast communities and hugely diverse communities, they won't make them feel anywhere near what they currently do - or rather did before all hell broke loose.
While many mods were power hungry babies, the healthy communities were greatly served by their mod teams in keeping the spirit of each individual sub alive and growing with it and their communities. Moderation from the top down will simply lead to sanitized, advertiser friendly hellscapes that are not places where communities can or will thrive.
