It’s pretty much guaranteed that AMA is going to go over very, very poorly. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out people aren’t happy about this! I’d think of this as a “why bother” situation usually but I get the feeling spez is looking for attention/validation.
I think it’s going to be a honeypot intended to draw out the critics. Their accounts will be banned and their comments hidden within minutes of saying anything even remotely critical.
Can’t wait to speak my mind and let them ban my 16 year old account.
but I get the feeling spez is looking for attention/validation.
Is he though? His last comment on Reddit as of this time was 10 months ago. I don’t think he really cares, if anything he’s being pressured to do it (and possibly doing begrudgingly) because he’s the more known “face” of reddit.
E: I’m not defending spez, btw. What I mean is just that I think it’s likely he’s an unwilling participant in all this. Reddit is just a source of income for him, he doesn’t care what happens to it. He probably would rather be cruising on his yacht or whatever, than doing this AMA.

Goodbye my sweet sweet Karma.
Interesting. I should try that out. If I’m ever going to get banned, this is the way.
What will immediately become ‘The Roast of Spez’ might be the last funny thing ever posted to Reddit at this rate to be fair.
Going down in flames. I like it.
I really don’t see how can this go well. On the other hand, Reddit was never shy of manipulations, so I’m expecting some shady practices…

They will probably do a biased and heavy moderation in the thread.
