Agree! I don’t think we need to care or that it’s a problem, but it was cool to be able to “page” a celebrity and know they (their publicist) are answering.
Or paging /u/captaindisillusion to end up seeing the post in one of his videos, or realizing the guy who “had you going in the first half” was /u/shittymorph himself.
It would be a good idea to have some kind of verification protocol that mods or instance admins can use for specific cases like AMAs or ‘expert’ accounts like you mention.
But with AMAs, those are typically one-time use accounts anyway, and the traditional verification of a current photo with a handwritten note in it is simple and sufficient.

We can totally do without it though.
