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.
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?
Arguably Elon and PayPal, since that was a merger, but not Tesla, which he bought his way into ex post facto.
what a coincidence, Huffman love kissing musk’s ass from time to time.
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.
So the comment above you is wrong
Again, depends on how you define founder. In the real sense, he’s not. In the legal sense, he is. Per Aaron’s reddit account-
One of the points of the merger was that we would all call ourselves co-founders, so that’s what I’ve been doing. I’d be happy to stop if that’s what Steve and Alexis wanted, though.
sounds like a founder in all but name, so what if he came a year later, the intent to leave him out is clear considering they were willing to before.
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?
Fuck /u/spez
Steve Huffman… Isn’t he that greedy little pig boy?
awww come on. pigs are smart intelligent beings. Quite the opposite of spez.
lol at the redacted usernames, like it’s a secret or something
Our they’re in the Epstein files.
Fuck Spez
huffman cant stop smelling MUSKs faerts, ohanian sold out for something else.
smelling
“huffing” was right there, man
rest in force Aaron
Fuck reddit
Aaron was by far the best of them all. That documentary moved me to tears…
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.
What else do you call an OPENLY fascist far-right White Supremacist eugenicist who personally believes and espoused the need for extermination camps for unwanted minorities?
This exchange is hilarious.
Removed by mod
Though this one may be more apt:
If only I had a nickel for every time a .world user defended Nazis.
That’s not how it works. It’s building the company that counts. More pragmatically if existing cofounders said you’re a cofounder, then you are.
something tells me you’re not going to get the full objective history of this from wikipedia
im pretty sure he is a founder, he was even named by the other cof-ounders. he must be significant enough to have that title.
Justice for Aaron Swartz
Reddit is a pro-American forum with hard censorship and extremist moderators. They cover that up with funny memes to look like fun. Until you think you can post something yourself.
