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.
Sounds like a similar situation to Elon and Tesla, no?
Arguably Elon and PayPal, since that was a merger, but not Tesla, which he bought his way into ex post facto.
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.
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.
Fuck /u/spez
Reminder that Steve Huffman is greedy little pig boy
