Wait a second, let me get this straight: you want the reddit users to "donate" to support tools used for AMA's where clients seeking advertising visibility do AMA interviews, often saturated with underhand pitched "questions" from fake accounts?

Why on earth don't they pay enough to fully support this sub, including tools?! Why ask for "donations" from us, when you need to price it into whatever you're charging them to do a AMA that's clearly their own marketing? Or are you not charging them to do these AMA's which are clearly so manipulated that they're rarely an "Ask Me Anything" and usually an "Ask Me Anything About Rampart"?

Right now, this sounds like "please donate $50 so we can advertise to you".

Now that I know you are doing this, I, for one, will no longer click on the AMAs.

I'm done with this sub. I know everyone thought it was hilarious when Seth MacFarlane did a horrible AMA and then did another one to make up for it, but his admission that "the team" didn't understand what an AMA was revealed how poorly supported this sub is by the main Reddit organization.

If it's just going to be a rodeo of any random company doing an AMA, answering questions made by fake accounts and defying the purpose of the sub, I don't see any reason to stay in here. If I was subscribed to a golf subreddit, and all anyone ever spoke about was bowling, I'd leave.

Now if you want to have users "donate" to have "AMA Gold" so we can identify the AMA'S where we can see not only the marketing-based AMA threads (and pay extra to see who the shills are), maybe you'll get my money. Until then, later.

In no way am I meaning to malign what you and the other folks tending to this sub are doing. I'm just amazed that this sub, arguably the most easily monetized sub on reddit, doesn't give you tools to run it properly, all the while gaining exposure from your efforts and reddit user participation. In my naivete, I wrongly assumed that the AMA's which were clearly PR moves by whatever group wanted exposure also came at a "cost of entry".

At some point, reddit will succumb to the weight of that which is "fake" and allowing it to drive traffic rather than quality of content. Facebook is suffering from "fake news" problems and almost 300 million fake users, to the point where people are resigning the site because they don't know what's real, and they don't care to waste time figuring it out.

Now you're telling us you don't have tools to moderate (and effectively take seriously a major traffic driver on reddit), asking for donations from the users? Asking the users to donate an amount that's pretty minimal, but redditors still have to slog through endless content that has no guarantee of being natural dialogue, subsidized speech or outright propaganda posing as organic contribution.

We can see just how "out in the cold" this sub is (and you mods are) when the site valuation is so high, the traffic so huge, reddit gold so pervasive, and this sub so popular, and yet you need to ask for a donation of just $50 to reinforce the moderation capabilities of your team.

Between this and /u/spez latest "Inquisition", I'd say it's obvious: reddit has no Captain at the helm.
