    Not that hot a take. It also maybe misses the point: those AMAs pull in tons of clicks and comments. Reddit wants interactions to show advertisers.

      Yeah it’s a real win-win. It’s costing the site interactions, and clearing some of the spam out of AMA

      And it was a really easy way to provide value to your existing users while also attracting and perhaps retaining new users. Instead they fired Victoria. Shoulda known back then. Shoulda known along the way multiple times.

      Shoulda, coulda, woulda. But at least now I finally see them for what they are - arrogant, out of touch, and actual outward disdain for the users.
