    The celebri-fication of IAMA definitely felt like a turning point for the website becoming more corporate.

    It was “I Am A…” and you’d get interesting AMAs from “mundane” people like air traffic controllers or plumbers who didn’t have anything to sell and just wanted to talk about what they do. Then it just became “I Am…” and it’d be a celebrity there to just hawk their latest project.

    I miss it, and really need to check if a good IAMA alternative sprung up here.

      Yeah I miss IAMA (normal person) the celebrity stuff would always just be one that has something coming out and they would usually just plug that stuff, boring. This is the internet. It’s for the people IDGAF about celebrities personally. I also feel Reddit became to political.
