I thought about this the other day.

I couldn't care about high profile AMA

Seriously. A few were cool. But most were pretty much just marketing teams with celebrities who couldn't care less about the 2011 hit crime drama Rampart starring Woody Harrelson

I love the smaller ones. And I think that made early reddit AMA great. Also whoever that girl was that helped do the AMAs was great. Who remembers that era. She was a mini celebrity and then they fired her.

Lemmy could definitely make headway by going back to the basics and doing AMA with random people with cool or niche expertise

Her name was Victoria and she was responsible for making AMAs as big as they ever were. When she left is when they really went downhill.

Yep. She was the canary in the coal mine.
