This forum space is used by various professionals to promote and talk to Reddit users directly. Obama, David Attenborough, Bill Nye The Science Guy, Snoop Dogg, Bill Gates and Korean pop star Psy are just some high profile names that have used this space to converse with those who have questions for them. Rather than using traditional social media advertisements, such as Facebook, Reddit hosts a scheduled and structured Q&A where Reddit users view a brief promo written directly from the professional, (mostly actors, musicians, politicians and comedians.)
It is quite a unique way to reach out to their audience. Even Obama has had a Q&A session on the website, making it the most popular and commented iAma session of all time. These informal sessions allow the professionals to answer questions they would not normally have a chance to answer, from people who wouldn't normally have the chance to ask.
For example, here is a question that Barack Obama answered.
But how can you tell that it is actually Obama, and not someone impersonating him?
Of course, that's covered with a link to Obamas personal twitter account, stating that he will be answering questions on Reddit.
