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.
