Although Aaron was instrumental in reddit’s success, he wasn’t a founder. He became part of reddit after reddit merged with infogami after a year or so of reddit being founded. therefore not a founder.
It’s a definition thing.
You are correct Aaron wasn’t instrumental in creating reddit (Which most would agree is a prerequisite to being considered a founder I presume.), his company got grafted to it and he was given a founder title.
That’s not how that works. Famously McDonald’s and Tesla for example.
Musk isn’t a founder of Tesla
Lol the definition of words don’t change just because a court said Musk is allowed to call himself that (after being sued by one of the actual founders). Not exactly a good look.
Sure buddy
Lol am I wrong?
huffman cant stop smelling MUSKs faerts, ohanian sold out for something else.
Fuck Spez
Arron Schwartz is right there on the top of the page!
Maybe they thought it would be disrespectful to use an avatar for a deceased person?
rest in force Aaron
spez is a opportunistic dickhead, no doubt.
Aaron was based. Spez is a piece of shit and greedy little piggy and Alexis is a sellout.
Reddit died around 2015 when it became AstroTurf central for the DNC. It violently swung the other way with the Donald before admins shut that down because orange man bad.
For the record, fuck Donald Trump. He’s a monster. Banning speech and calling everyone fascist doesn’t help anyone though.
For those not in the know:
Swartz’s involvement in Reddit is debated. He is considered the co-founder of Reddit by Y Combinator owner Paul Graham as a result of the merger of Swartz’s project Infogami and Reddit. With the merger of Infogami and Reddit, Swartz became a co-owner and director of parent company Not A Bug, Inc., along with Reddit cofounders Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. Ohanian considers Swartz a co-owner of Reddit.
Aaron was instrumental in rewriting Reddit from spez’s half-baked lisp prototype to python. And that was before python hit it big. Kn0thing can’t code and neither could spez. Without Aaron, reddit would never have scaled.
Sounds like a similar situation to Elon and Tesla, no?
what a coincidence, Huffman love kissing musk’s ass from time to time.
Arguably Elon and PayPal, since that was a merger, but not Tesla, which he bought his way into ex post facto.
From Wikipedia
Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in June 2005, who were joined by Aaron Swartz that November.
I think it’s reasonable to say that if you weren’t there for the original ideation, you’re not a founder. Doesn’t mean Aaron wasn’t an amazing person.
He’s considered a founder by the founding member that isn’t an out and about nazi. So I think he counts as a founder.
What the fuck are you talking about
Calling everyone you disagree with “Nazi” debases what the Nazis actually did. You pollute discourse and distort the historical horrors and industrial genocide perpetuated by the fascist Nazi regime.
Though this one may be more apt:
Ship of Theseus argument: would Aaron recognize Reddit of today with all its…improvements…as the Reddit he knew? Those two founded something that has the name but not the soul.
Well, see, Aaron Swartz isn’t a billionaire, so he doesn’t matter.
He’s also been dead for over a decade, sadly.
If we make a comparison between Aron’s situation vs Anna’s archive-Nvidia deal, we can conclude if you are not a millionare the justice is applied different.
There are two justice systems. Always has been. One for the elites and one for the rest of us.
lol at the redacted usernames, like it’s a secret or something
