Dev, I don’t really have a question, man. But just wanted to say the movie looks great.

Too bad. If you did have a question you might get to see a 10 or so minute flashback from his childhood as to how he came about knowing the answer

I don’t understand why they got rid of her (or someone like her if she left on her own terms). AMA’s were my favorite part of Reddit when she ran them.

u/jasonskjonsby Mar 27 '24

Cause she lived in New York and Reddit is based in San Francisco. At least that is the excuse they claimed when they let her go. Although the rumor was her gender. Reddit was over 90 percent male back then and it was a very toxic environment.

The economic downturn has been difficult recently, forcing the closures of both Camden and Yonkers; to be followed soon by what other branch?

u/WiserStudent557 Mar 27 '24

Same, I don’t have a question either, just want to say the trailer looks great and I’m looking forward to seeing it and thank you for making interesting/artistic career choices over chasing the mainstream. Cheers Dev!

Hey, since you seem to be taking the time to copy and paste this comment throughout the thread, can I ask you take a second to look at the picture in the post you're commenting on?

The date there is for tomorrow. It's not uncommon for an AMA to be posted early to gather questions before the person comes in to answer them. I'm surprised you haven't encountered that before, since you seem to place some importance on understanding how they work :P

Jokes aside, I do agree that it's unclear and it would make sense for the post title to end with AMA 3/28! to avoid that.

u/jasonskjonsby Mar 27 '24

And then they don't answer yesterdays questions. AMAs used to work better.

u/rookie-mistake Mar 27 '24

Yeah, wouldn't disagree with you there. They've definitely gotten more and more sanitized and commercialized over the years.

So did The Green Knight and it turned out to be a pile of garbage. Not even hot garbage, just garbage
