Reddit AMA as reliable, self-published primary source?

Does the Stephen Kick's AMA falls under WP:SELFPUB as WP:PRIMARY ("Press release")? About the AMA as self-published source, while WP seems not to have a specific section for Reddit, the Twitter related one seems similar enough WP:Twitter-EL:

As a reliable source: Sometimes. A specific tweet may be useful as a self-published, primary source. Twitter incorporates a Verified Account mechanism to identify accounts of celebrities and other notable people; this should be considered in judging the reliability of Twitter messages.

The AMA was verified so I think this applies here. Cheers Shaddim (talk) 14:47, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AMAs are definetly not press releases. While it does well WP:SELFPUB's 2.–5., it might fail 1.: "the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim;", which is what should be discussed. As for now, I am ok with the source, but Wikipedia may not. Thoughts? Lordtobi (✉) 15:05, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree strongly on the importance of the limitations imposed by "the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim;". I interpret this as the responsibility of the WP editors in material selection and formulation (which makes primary sources so undesirable, always near OR). In the current form of usage and formulation I believe the requirement of this clause is fulfilled: no exceptional claim, no controversial topic, no generalized interpretation, just directly backing of the fact of an "announcement", not indicating too much truth or reality. ("Kick announced....") cheers Shaddim (talk) 18:38, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
