And why did they bother to do AMA if they knew they're only going to answer the few very specific things they wanted to answer? I'm actually not asking retoricaly here - it looks like spez wanted to do a PR release... Why not do that instead? I don't think they're so disconnected they didn't expect this result.

It's nuts that the Reddit CEO doesn't get how Reddit works.

"how Reddit works"

Sounds like you're accusing him of something you're guilty of? Is there "one" way that reddit works, and you get it, but he doesn't? hubris level intensifies.

What are you talking about?

Most people who have been around a few AMAs know that there are some obvious pitfalls and anything but transparancy is going to very quickly degrade into a mess of an AMA.

You would expect the CEO of reddit to have some understanding of that, yet his answers were textbook examples on how to torpedo yourself quickly.
