Still, in terms of the normal transparency level of an AMA, this one reads to me like he has a crisis PR person sitting right next to him filtering his replies.

Still, in terms of the normal transparency level of an AMA, this one reads to me like he has a crisis PR person sitting right next to him filtering his replies.
- acrispino 3y agoIt seems he may be pasting pre-written answers: https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/jnkcs6l/?context=2 https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_...
- mastercheif 3y agoIt wouldn’t surprise me if someone is copying questions into a GDoc for him and then he’s dictating the replies in the GDoc, so they’re using a Q/A format. These don’t read as prepared answers to me.
- acrispino 3y agogood point, thanks
- tedmiston 3y agoI think the copy/paste from a filtered doc is a common setup for highly popular AMAs. I mean the post has 14,000 comments and it's only been live for 2 hours... Reddit's UI is just not good at that use case or threads with that amount of comments.
- mostlysimilar 3y agoWell... the old UI is perfectly good at it. The new UI not so much.
- IanCal 3y agoLet's not pretend the old ui is good, it's just not as bad as the replacements.
- mastercheif 3y agoI disagree. It sounds like he’s shooting from the hip to me. If there’s a crisis PR person there, they’ve faked it until they made it.
- mustacheemperor 3y agoI can't comprehend how a crisis PR person would see the comment asking about Apollo and make the suggestion Steve pointlessly double down on the same accusation.
- Timon3 3y agoThere are multiple people in the comments here that are defending the Reddit CEO. Sadly him doubling down seems to be working...
- nnf 3y agoMore likely they’re still in the “fake it” phase.
- Mindwipe 3y agoNo PR professional would have let him answer the Apollo question in the way he did. That made everything much worse.
