IAmA mods no longer willing to work for reddit for free
redd.it
Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably. But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we'd be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.

The used to have an in house employee that was paid to write up the answers. I forget their name and handle though. But that was axed years ago in favour of the free moderators doing the job.
The cost of person hours is huge though. Whatever the "wage" they would consider for mods would essentially be volunteer slave labour.
I think you may be referring to the admin that used to coordinate the AmAs, Victoria Taylor.
They shot themselves in the foot back then, and apparently they haven't changed in their decision making.
Oh yeah, they've done so poorly since then... You can almost go a whole day without running into an AMA.
Yes her!
"Reddit in chaos" haha. Sometimes things are so relative.
