          Academy Award nominated actress Margot Robbie can manage her own Lemonworld account!

      It’s one of the reasons I stopped going to them. Once I realized that if I saw an AMA for a specific person, it must have meant that they were just there shilling some new project.

        I mean it’s literally no different from guests on talk shows or podcasts. They are almost never there just for fun.

        And I get it. Why would you put yourself through that unless you’re promoting something?

          There use to be some AMAs of bored pseudo celebs and they would just show up to take some fan questions and then bounce back to the woodwork… thats the type of shit I like.

            Calling promotion shilling is a bit silly though.

              Is it?

              I think Promotion = Shilling… just a bit more derogatory term.

              Most of the time, subs don’t let people pimp their personal shit for monetary gain, no clue why it’s more socially acceptable if it’s Jennifer Lawrence over some dude who makes cool pottery.

      It’s give and take. As long as they also answer the questions it’s pretty effective. Why else would a celebrity or politician so an ama?
