How to Host a Better AMA: Stop Reading the Chat Waterfall

The "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) is a staple for creators. It’s the best way to bond with your community.

But there is a problem: The Chat Waterfall.

If you have more than 50 viewers, the chat moves too fast. Questions get buried under "GGs" and emotes. You end up answering the same three boring questions because they were the only ones you could catch.

To level up your content, you need to separate the Questions from the Chat. Here is how to do it with RiLiFi Q&A.

1. Let the Community Curate (Upvotes)

Don't try to read everything. Let your audience do the work.

Share a RiLiFi Q&A link. Viewers submit questions and Upvote the ones they want to hear. The best content naturally floats to the top.

2. Screen the Trolls

Reading a random chat comment out loud is risky. You might accidentally read something offensive.

With a Q&A board, you can scan the top questions before you answer. It gives you a safety buffer and keeps the vibes positive.

3. The "Lightning Round"

End your stream with high energy. Sort by "Newest" and answer as many as you can in 60 seconds.

It’s fast, chaotic (in a good way), and rewards the people who stayed until the end.

Conclusion

Your audience has great questions. Stop letting them scroll off the screen.
