There was alot of insane controversy that Carlos Ghosn's AMA yesterday was staged. Everybody seems to have ignored this moderator post which does a pretty damn good job explaining the situation. Idiots.

Talk about cherry picking, christ. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and see whose questions he answers. 4 month account, 2 month account, 9 month account, 5 year account... etc. Plenty of long time redditors got addressed. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

But more importantly:
NEW ACCOUNT =/= SHILL ACCOUNT. We've had to go over this in !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! many different times. We've asked the admins to investigate claims like this a few times and the answer is always the same. The OP !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and the people who are interested enough to follow Nissan on Twitter were interested enough to come here to make an account and ask a question.

Here's a great example where the exact thing happened in Alice in Chains' AMA

Applicable quote:
If this really was a PR guy, the account would more likely be 25 days old, just like the [Nissan] account. They'd make all of their accounts at the same time. It makes zero sense for them to make a bunch of fake accounts the moment of the AMA, especially when they have a HUGE selection of positive questions to pick from within the first 20 seconds of the AMA.
Doesn't it make so much more sense that users would follow the guy in from Twitter, instead of the company plotting to plant some inane questions at the risk of a huge amount of bad PR for getting their post removed?
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is one of the main ways that new users are brought to Reddit. They make an account to ask a question and then stick around for a while. So good work, everyone. Excellent work making a great first impression by harassing them."

He shouldn't have done an AMA if he only had time for a few questions. It's just bad form.

Yeah it's another crazy example of how Reddit makes upvotes = knowledge. So many idiots online who believe whatever is in front of them. Simplest answer is usually the right one, people!

yeah, it was a shitty ama, just like the other Nissan guy who came on Jalopnik. It wasn't fake though.

You don't understand, everyone on Reddit is incredibly smart and perceptive (so much more so than the average person, who's a complete idiot) and they can see right through shams like this. /s
