Disgraceful, disgusting, lying scum. Say his name: Aaron Swartz
Aaron Swartz actually didn’t found Reddit. He built a similar company that wasn’t gaining traction, and as both of them were under y-comb and Reddit secretly seeded fake accounts, Swartz and y-comb decided to merge into Reddit. Swartz was sort of their first and hardworking employee instead of a co-founder.
Reddit doesn't exist without him period full stop. His didn't get traction and theirs didn't work.
Not the same thing.
Agreed.
