It sounds like that's a lot of what Victoria prevented from happening though. The Rampart AMA happened before her time and was the result of miscommunication of what an AMA is. Part of what Victoria did was make sure that AMAs were answered directly and not by agents on someone's behalf. There is coordination involved with getting a celebrity on an AMA, and many celebrities may not have even heard of Reddit before they are approached. Casual AMAs require a lot less overhead, but Voat would need to be much bigger and more mainstream than even Reddit is in order to attract public figures organically.

Well if she actually did all that, then she would be fantastic. Still, I think the only possible way to get a good AMA from Woody Harelson is if a pizza delivery guy impersonated him.

That's what I was thinking too. It sounds like she did a whole lot of the legwork for Reddit that even the Reddit administration took for granted.
And I kind of feel bad for Woody Harelson. It sounds like he wasn't really prepped for what an AMA is about, and thought it was more of a topic based interview. He just handled it poorly from there.
