The Reddit moderators who coordinate many celebrity AMAs will no longer do so
“It does mean you’ll need to pay more attention.”
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.
