This week on Reddit marketing: a failed AMA, fully dissected

— [Case] A startup ran an unscheduled AMA with no mod coordination; it got 6 questions, 90% downvoted, and was removed in an hour. The founder's honest postmortem traces every mistake. Why it's worth your time: failure write-ups with numbers are rarer and often more useful than the wins. Source: r/startups, u/ama-flop
— [Tactic] A commenter listed the 4 prerequisites the failed AMA skipped — proof, scheduling, mod approval, and an existing presence. Source: r/CommunityManager
— [Rule-change] Several subs now require pre-approval for any AMA. Source: r/IAmA meta

Editor's pick: the AMA postmortem — the cheapest way to learn the prerequisites is from someone else's flop.
