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.

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.
