View submission: Why has R/Iama been set to private?
The quality of the AMAs when victoria was handling them has been top notch. I'm afraid of what's coming up next. Hopefully we can get Victoria back aboard.
^i'd ^also ^like ^to ^know ^the ^details ^on ^why ^she ^was ^suddenly ^let ^go...
Edit: shit all subs going private in a joint boycott effort. Viva la Victoria viva our freedom!

This is our primary problem at the moment. We need a way to keep the quality up without her, and we have no way to do that. She was the one ensuring that they did look at tough questions (even if they didn't have good answers), and ensuring that they devoted lots of time to the AMA and all of that. Without her, we can't know or enforce any of that. *Super* frustrating.

Probably trying to cut costs and make a new direction for reddit. I can't say I'm a big fan of any decision out of reddit corporate for quite some time.

We've had situations where agents or others have tried to do an AMA as their client, and Victoria shut that shit down immediately. We can't do that anymore.
I'd bet just about anything that this is why.
