I honestly had no idea how the backend work occurred for AMAs, that you actively solicited celebrities and others, ran a separate Web site, etc. My respect for your team is immense.

I've unsubbed more than half the subreddits I was subscribed to, and am actively looking for alternatives to those I still follow.

Thank you for all the effort you've put in in the past, and, please, enjoy your newfound free time.

Why are you advising people to move to the left if the shoulder is the only option to move right?

This advice contradicts general driving instruction and adds uncertainty. The reason drivers are told to move to the right is because it's predictable for you. You know where they're supposed to go, so you can anticipate how to plot your way through traffic. If the car in front of you isn't moving out of your way, and you decide to move left, and then THEY recognize you're there and THEY move left, you're risking a collision.

Keep it predictable for non-EMS personnel. Move right. Or stay where you are (if you're already in the right lane) and let the emergency vehicle operator figure out their way around you. Predictability is what keeps the response safe.

Can you get the NYT to reprint that editorial? Even emphasize it was originally published in 2015 and still holds true.

That's not what OP was discussing. OP was discussing being in motion on a highway.

If you are already stopped at a traffic light, you should remain stopped. Emergency vehicles have the authority to travel the wrong direction in the opposing lane. Let them use that to their advantage when traffic is already stopped.

How do I know where an emergency vehicle is going?
