    my hot take is that AMA’s haven’t been good for literally years, and that most celebrity AMA’s are terrible and nothing more than cheap advertising for whatever their latest project is.

      Not that hot a take. It also maybe misses the point: those AMAs pull in tons of clicks and comments. Reddit wants interactions to show advertisers.

        Yeah it’s a real win-win. It’s costing the site interactions, and clearing some of the spam out of AMA

        And it was a really easy way to provide value to your existing users while also attracting and perhaps retaining new users. Instead they fired Victoria. Shoulda known back then. Shoulda known along the way multiple times.

        Shoulda, coulda, woulda. But at least now I finally see them for what they are - arrogant, out of touch, and actual outward disdain for the users.

      Yeah, haven’t clicked on an AMA in years. They used to be good, but the last couple of years it wasn’t worth it

        It’s been going downhill since they fired Victoria

        I hit the sub a few hours ago to see what’s going on there, and man it is just pure noise, no signal.
