Reddit is shaking things up. In a move that's both baffling and brilliant, the social media platform announced today it will require all "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) hosts to submit verifiable "proof of mundanity" alongside their standard verification. The new policy, effective immediately, is a direct response to what many users are calling an over-saturation of sensationalized AMAs, filled with dubious claims and staged narratives.
The new rules stipulate that AMA hosts must now provide concrete evidence of their everyday lives, designed to "ground the extraordinary" as one Reddit spokesperson put it in a press conference earlier today. This includes the submission of items like a recent grocery receipt, a photo of unfolded laundry, or a timestamped picture of their overflowing junk drawer.
