So all the top responses to the top comments in the thread are going to be “seriously, this” and nobody is going to see how spez actually responds. Classic.

It'll get around. That's how the infamous sense-of-pride-and-accomplishment comment did. Going into a user's profile for their comments is a paradigm older than Reddit.

You would think Reddit would have made an AMA sorting mode that surfaces OP's answers even when they're heavily downvoted by now, since it's been a thing for years, but it doesn't seem like a priority for them.

  Reddit has a Q&A sorting mode.

    Yes, but it doesn't seem to work very well. It still doesn't show spez's answers, and you could argue that the co-founder and long time CEO should use that sorting order in his own AMA where he knows full well he'll be heavily downvoted, but it seems to use the default "best".

    His replies still appear to be hidden in the Q&A sorting mode. https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/?sort=qa https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_...

    It's turned on by default on that thread; it's just not helping much with the sheer volume of comments.

      It wasn't initially; but as you noted, it didn't help much anyway.

    The Q&A sort mode still shows the most popular questions at the top. The CEO only answered questions with an order of magnitude fewer votes than the top questions. The Q&A sort works fine, it’s just that no questions were answered.

spez's responds just a corporate bullshit, and not the hard answers. You can read responces here if you want: https://www.reddit.com/user/spez/comments/ https://www.reddit.com/user/spez/comments/
