As a result, we will no longer be working with the admins to put together AMAs. Anyone seeking to schedule an AMA can simply message the moderators or email us at AMAVerify@gmail.com, and we'd be happy to assist and help prepare them for the AMA in any way.

The important part. Well, it's all important, so read all of it.

So basically, the amount of high profile AMAs will drop significantly from here on out, right?

[–]SUSAN_IS_A_BITCH 60ポイント61ポイント  (6子コメント)

I assume the /r/IAMA team will try their best to make sure this doesn't happen.

Bring back Bad Luck Brian.

Who is Bad Luck Brian?

[–]chancellorjay 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wasn't that found out later to be fake, anyways?

[–]WhackTheSquirbos 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

karmanaut is satan confirmed

[–]lula2488[M] 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

We will do our best to try and maintain high profile AMAs, but obviously with the lose of chooter, it will be difficult.

[–]DaedalusMinion 25ポイント26ポイント  (4子コメント)

Not really. The AMAs were helped by Vic, sure.

But at the end of the day they came to /r/IAma

[–]hchan1 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

You're vastly underestimating how much she did for this subreddit. Many of the AMA celebrities were people who didn't use Reddit, and so had no clue how to actually run one. Vic arranged, ran, transcribed, and generally made it a smooth process for everyone involved. Unless they somehow replace her with another physical presence, expect the quality of AMAs to go to shit.

[–]DaedalusMinion 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

...I know what she did. She helped us set up in AMAs in /r/books too.

I'm just saying that people are misunderstanding what the base issue is. Not her firing, lack of communication and a viable replacement.

[–]lecturermoriarty 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

If AMA's are as important to Reddit's popularity and image as they seem to be, then I would imagine the admins would want to step in soon to make this a more 'legitimate' process. Wasn't that part of Victoria's function? To liaison and provide a firm link between users and answerers?

[–]DaedalusMinion 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Victoria helped users do AMAs and helped us (I mod /r/books) get in contact with authors who were a bit hard to find.

She was a great asset but I think people don't really understand that yes, the site can function without her. There just needed to be a replacement in place.

[–]ThisIsBigCat 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hopefully the mods will figure it out.

[–]TheGreatWolfRuss 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd rather the mods take it than some admin team even if quality drops for a time.

[–]Accountdeesnuts 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

In the end, was this all for nothing?

[–]panydsunderwear 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not nothing to take control of one of the largest subreddits on the site away from the paid staff who utilise it as one of their biggest moneymakers.

And if the admins try to take it back...well then that's probably just pouring gasoline on the fire.

[–]avelertimetr 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah that's what I don't understand.

"We are angry that the mods didn't notify us in advance and provide us with a transition plan so we are going dark"

12 hours later...

"Welcome back. They still don't have a transition plan or a long-term plan, but it's pretty much business as usual"

This smells kind of funny to me...

[–]WizOfTime 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It might, but it's up to us to stop it. Us, as in, the userbase. We need to stick to our guns and support the Mods here at /r/IAMA

The people doing the AMA's are here for one reason, and one reason only and that is exposure for them, their movie, their book, whatever.

I will be here for the community, because that is what we, at the end of the day. A community. And nothing the admins do will change that.

  • Hello guys, I'm a high school kid who plays games. AMA!

  • I am founder of a company which has no customers, no product and no funding. AMA!

  • Sup everyone, this is Chad. Just started drawing pictures with my feet. Ask me anything

[–]takesthebiscuit 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Other way round. Expect Rampart 2 , 3 , 4....

[–]nonfish 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

There were plenty of high-profile AMAs before Victoria's involvement. The problem was that they were oftentimes uninteresting PR/promotional style writing, without much engagement. The Morgan Freeman AMA is a perfect example; it's generally believed the entire thing was written by his PR team.

[–]sorenslothe -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Luckily plenty of big names came on here before Victoria was let go, so this place already has a rep. I have faith that the mods will figure this whole thing out, they seem like capable people.

[–]jqpeub -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

I believe its partly the subscribers responsibility now

[–]slightlydirtythroway 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

I know, I love it. Admins won't do their job? Fuck em, we'll do it ourselves

[–]ZombieWrath 20ポイント21ポイント  (3子コメント)

A very strong move indeed.

[–]KaliYugaz 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why would they continue to go on supporting Reddit through their labor for free though?

[–]HeAVeN012 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Love for the work, a huge userbase, and proabbly holding out until a better platform than voat comes around to migrate to.

[–]Seraph_Grymm 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

There was a lot of discussion on this, and we decided it was for the best at this time.

[–]Marblem 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

We really need some sort of assurances from the mods that they are not being hoodwinked - not here, we all believe you and we believe in AMA... But we also know there is a lot of money interested in ruining the successful format we have enjoyed. The overall impression people are getting from Victoria's departure was that reddit wants AMAs to be more marketing and less actual AMA, because that is what Victoria was so excellent at preventing.

I wish the mods the best on their quest to find a way to do this without her, and applaud their integrity.

[–]AmesCG 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

The moderators have declared their independence!

[–]Silkku 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I wonder how this is going to affect the quality of future AMAs though, from what I gathered Victoria has been doing a lot of work behind the scenes

[–]SUSAN_IS_A_BITCH 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think if anything it'll make the mods try harder to maintain or improve the quality of AMAs as a kind of "We can do this ourselves" statement. At first it may be rocky as they figure out their new system, but I don't think this will affect AMA quality long term.

I also expect to see a mod or mods in charge of calling AMA clients and helping them with the AMA, just generally doing what Victoria did.

[–]AccidentalBirth 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

They should add "TLDR: Read the whole fucking thing"

[–]DodneyRangerfield 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Reddit management completely shut out of the reddit crown jewel ? Smooth

[–]HiimCaysE -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

What's the difference if the mods run it without the admins going forward? /r/IAmA is one of the biggest contributors to new users on Reddit, so they still bring in traffic to a site that is currently being mismanaged. Stay closed in protest. Aren't you all volunteers? Or is that naivety talking?
