The moderators of Reddit’s IAmA community are significantly reducing the amount of work they do to help solicit and coordinate AMAs with celebrities and high-profile individuals.

Honestly this is one of those things I’d be fine leaving on reddit. Celebrity worship is gross, and it was never very interesting. 5-6 simple questions answered, promotion of their new book/movie/show, and peace out.
I still fondly remember the days of Victoria helping with facilitating the AMAs. She had a great rapport with all the celebrities and really helped with getting good answers to questions from the community.
I consider her termination to be the moment Reddit started going down the route of putting potential profits above the needs of the community.
I had completely forgotten about that. This whole thing has been a really slow burn.
And of course, as par for Reddit, it was one of the founders and then-chairman Alexis Ohanian behind it all and screwing the users. I’d like to think Aaron Swartz would be pissed and disappointed but unfortunately we’ll never know.
I hope we can get a secret Santa going on lemmy!
Not me, bring it over here, I don’t read many but when I do I’d prefer it to be here now
They had some good shit with subject matter experts though.
