Honestly, I don’t see this issue with that - having preprepared answers to make sure they’re accurate (though that doesn’t appear to have been the reason in this case…) etc is a reasonable thing for an AMA like that
I think the substance (or often honestly lack thereof) of those responses is much more the problem, together with not actually addressing most of the questions that were responded to properly (and I’m honestly just confused by the decision process by Reddit’s leadership in general tbh as it was rather foreseeable not to end well. Kinda wish Reddit will die from this hoping a lot of the communities I care about migrate to something like Lemmy instead; but I’m not holding my breath)
If you have pre-answered questions then it’s not an AMA, it’s an announcement or a press release. An AMA requires the communication to go both ways, and he didn’t answer anything he was unprepared for
I wish! He hasn’t answered anything but softball questions I can only assume were posted by his mom and secretary.
Which were initially prefixed with
A:, as if he copy-pasted premade answers from a spreadsheet or a word document 🤣https://archive.ph/X6EJq
