Victoria went above and beyond her job duties, and the community recognized her for it. She would sit alongside those being interviewed and interpret their answers in such a way that captured both the question and the answer. She was excellent at her job and there's frankly no replacement for her. She grew with the community, and the community grew with her.



Not only did she symbolize the growth of r/AMA, but the method behind AMA caught on all over Reddit thanks to her success. The fact that the company has so suddenly let her go only shows they don't understand the user base or the values that have driven the site's success. It comes down to the individuals that drive great content. Victoria was one of them. You'll also hear about "moderators" as a group particularly upset by this. They are personally invested in monitoring content on the site as volunteers because they care about each individual community. For the company to so nonchalantly reject a member as important as Victoria only shows there are motives behind running this site that are not true to the values that have developed it. In turn, the best content creators will leave along with the moderators, and Reddit will dissolve just like Digg. It's a cycle that will continue as social networks rise and fall and those in control become more and more distant from what they're actually managing.
