r/science will no longer be hosting AMAs
Post Body

4 years ago we announced the start of our program of hosting AMAs on r/science. Over that time we've brought some big names in, including Stephen Hawking, Michael Mann, Francis Collins, and even Monsanto!. All told we've hosted more than 1200 AMAs in this time.

We've proudly given a voice to the scientists working on the science, and given the community here a chance to ask them directly about it. We're grateful to our many guests who offered their time for free, and took their time to answer questions from random strangers on the internet.

However, due to changes in how posts are ranked AMA visibility dropped off a cliff. without warning or recourse.

We aren't able to highlight this unique content, and readers have been largely unaware of our AMAs. We have attempted to utilize every route we could think of to promote them, but sadly nothing has worked.

Rather than march on giving false hopes of visibility to our many AMA guests, we've decided to call an end to the program.
