OK, but how do you get rid of gorillas?

This is indeed an important aspect as well.
There's a group of people that somehow feels hurt on a personal level because their account got banned and as a result now oppose any protest from moderators on Reddit.
It's the same people that think they can moderate themselves, but yes, they'll find it it's hard work with people disagreeing with them whatever they do as a moderator.
I doubt they have anyone to take over that many subs
They don't. Even if people step in, new mods aren't as motivated as the mods that were dismissed.
Not sure about the price now, but it apparently used to cost $29 per year in 2016 (!).
Indeed who is paying for that? Or all those silly awards? It's like buying some fancy ribbon for $10 in a store and donate that to a charity. The store likes it, but the charity probably would have been better off with the $10 instead of a ribbon.
I doubt a slow responsiveness has to do with wefwef.
