    AMAs on Reddit used to be magical. No PR, no advertising, if you tried to “stay on message” you would become a laughingstock (see Woody Harrelson’s infamous AMA).

    Then they fired Victoria and celebrity AMAs rapidly became boring and obvious parts of the promo circuit for any new media.

      It’s funny, before they fired Victoria I remember there being criticism levied at the AMAs she managed because those tended to be the most corporate and on-message.

      It may have ended up being that Victoria preventing the most corporate AMAs from being even more corporate, but it wasn’t necessarily obvious to people at the time.
