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.
Another great bastion of reddit content has been felled.
Another reason for redditors to leave and join Lemmy.
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.
I’ll be honest, once Victoria left, AMAs weren’t the same…
Seeing the people who barely held it together walk off… I mean shit
Disco Inferno’s playing on full volume over there at Reddit
… hold on isn’t this post better suited to !reddit@lemmy.world ??
I remember when Victoria was fired, the quality of all celebrity amas went down to shit and became glorified ads, such wasted potential
