      I think they’re in a more sensitive situation this time, compared to the past.

      they’re about to submit an IPO, so having a riot in their own service is damaging them economically.

        I can’t even call that an AMA. It appeared that he had pre-prepared answers for certain questions, and nothing else.

          Less of an AMA, more of a AMOTQABMPT. Ask Me Only The Questions Approved By My PR Team (but I still managed to fuck up.)
