I thought there was a third founder, who killed himself after getting into some bullshit trouble from the feds for downloading a lot of taxpayer funded studies? He wasn't mentioned in the article.
Yeah not really though. He set up a rival college to take the fall for it. He broke into a network closet, then returned there later to get the computer he put there (when he was caught) instead of downloading the data.
At least follow basic crime 101 of never robbing the same place twice. Guy was a moron.
Iirc, Aaron MADE reddit. spez coattailed him the entire time. There was a wonderful (but very sad) documentary about Aaron’s life. He was fanatically pro 1A and saw reddit as a true free-to-speak platform. But as other people said, they pinned shit on him for being an activist for genuinely GOOD things, and he killed himself over it.
Then spez probably unhinged his jaw and ate his body, idk. But reddit in its current state is quite obviously not what Aaron wanted - quite the opposite, and he was fighting over ensuring it wouldn’t turn into what it is now.

Aaron Swartz. Early Life checks out. He was looking at 35 years in federal prison for what they were dropping on him, so he hanged himself.
Imagine fighting to get our publicly funded research to the public.
This is the kindof free speech hero who should be running reddit. not this cuckold and his millions.

I wonder if he was murdered by the Bathhouse Barry regime. He was in favor of free speech and he died right about the time Chairman Pao joined Peddit.
