r/IamA_Adult
I know that's for NSFW stuff, but I can't help but think "yes hello I am an adult and I do adult things like taxes"

Why are normal AMA rules in place for this meta announcement?
Why do our comments in this thread still have to be a question?
Why do I still miss Victoria?

What happens if there's some random category that doesn't apply to any of these? Will a new sub be created/announced, will it go in the closest match, or will it just not be xposted?

So everything is still hosted on IAmA and then just crossposted?
I like this.
It keeps the main hub active but gives people who want more niche ama's better visibility on those topics.
I was sincerely worried that people were going to be directed to these other subs and I wouldn't get to see the crazy amount of different AMAs like I'm used to. I enjoy that variety and finding new people I've never heard of.

So, logistically, will the folks doing AMAs have to follow two threads to keep up with questions? Are threads crossposted after the fact, so one only has the option to read through the AMAs they're looking for? Or are we just talking about AMA announcements going to multiple subs?

Could we have one for filmmakers? The director one feels too specialised to me, would like to subscribe to one for writers, cinematographers, producers, etc etc.

Because this subreddit has too many? Balkanization/over specialization is a bad way to go. Seen it too many times across many places. This is a bad move you'll regret within a year.

So I can't just sub to IAmA and cone across interesting ones in my feed? I need to sub to 24 different subs for the content of one?

Is this kinda dumb? Wouldnt it be better if reddit just built in actual post flair and sorting rather than the half baked garbage that is at the mods disposal?

I appreciate how professional and neutral you've been when answering comments, even aggressive ones. I've never seen good mods like that since I joined Reddit.

What is the difference between r/IamA_Academic and r/IamA_Science?
Why is e.g. "We are researchers developing a one-hour test to identify the exact cause of fever in children. Ask us anything!" in Academic while "I’m an entomologist here to answer your questions about the Brood X cicadas - AMA!" is in Science?

Would mods from a major subreddit be allowed to help moderate the iama versions? For example, if someone moderates /military could they help moderate iama military? If not, why would mods from that subreddit want to put the ama here and not their subreddit? What benefit would Tom Brady have coming here instead of r/NFL or r/Patriots or r/patriots2?

No r/IamA_Advertisement? I guess those will continue to be the majority of the posts here then?
