There's still questions trickling in. If you sort by "new" you can see all the unanswered recent ones. Feel free to chime in and give responses--a lot of Reddit readers are on the fence with Rand (as opposed to being completely against Trump and Cruz)

Yes, I've seen a lot of comments like, "wow, I didn't know that was his position on ___"

Here's one from /r/randpaul:
There are issues where I disagree with Paul, but I'm much more likely to support him after his AMA. I really liked his direct responses with references to specific proposals, and I appreciated him calling out bipartisanship as a name for backroom deals. Maybe you guys are onto something here.

The thread is getting downvoted hard by the resident Bernie Sanders lemmings, as far as I can tell.

They're saying it was mostly due to reddit's auto-downvoting function:

Yeah that's right, reddit is designed for a daily news cycle, if he would of done a longer one then maybe the thread would of been more active and people would still be upvoting it but when something is on Reddit that isn't new it's because it's a repost. It's like a RPF but with 1000x more users so adding comments to older posts doesn't bring old content back up to the very top because there are so many people using it.

AMA's are typically enjoyed as a live event so it's not typically reviewed unless people trying to quote policy positions on politicians which is probably why Rand didn't answer many questions in the first place. He doesn't want an encyclopedia made for trolls to be able to look up shit he might of said and put it out of context to twist the meaning.

Too bad they can't downvote the MSM coverage of him which got a lot of positive reception. It's creating gems like;
He however decided to not answer when asked if he’d rather take on “one Trump-sized duck or 100 duck-sized Trumps.”

I am hoping Ted Cruz decides he needs to do a AMA now since Rand did. Cruz would get slaughtered.
 
People still don't know it's over, they are still asking questions and google is listing it as the first result for me. I don't expect Rand to be bill gates but he would be wise to hug the internet back when it hugs him.
