A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

AMAs haven't been the same since the fired Victoria.

For me AMA's havent been relevant for a decade now. Back when reddit was smaller and it was quirky insight from mostly users with the occasional low level celeb who actually stumbled onto the site and wanted to answer questions.

Once reddit blew up it became repetitive, and the "big name" celebs were mostly just there as a PR move with a PR handler typing out responses, ignoring hard questions, and promoting themselves.

Woody Harrelson is when I noticed AMA had jumped the shark, that was ~8 years ago.

Reddit AMAs pretty much died after they sacked Victoria.
