    … and they totally omitted Aaron Swartz as a founder.

    The actions of Reddit the last few years (and especially the last few months) have probably increasingly caused Aaron to spin in his grave so much that he could power Los Angeles and San Francisco both with his beyond-the-grave outrage if anyone cared to harness that energy source.

    Also a meh article, with spelling and grammatical errors (deliberate?) and omitting even simple details.

      Not even mentioning Schwartz was a huge indicator that this is a bullshit paid-for story from Reddit/Spez. Absolutely NOBODY who would bring up the founding of Reddit without mentioning Schwartz unless they were paid not to. This is a hack piece from a paid shill.

        NYT don’t do “paid” stories.

        However, the journalism is superficial (lazy) and seems to skim across the surface. This was written by someone who doesn’t understand the tech – so they interviewed someone pro (Spez) and someone con (the super mod) – did some ping pong with quotes and TADA! An article!

          Reporter: To sum up, this expert representing the major Meteorological associations says it is currently raining. And this expert from the “Crack Pot Society” says it isn’t. I have a window right next to me and…both sides make good points so you’ll have to decide for yourself.

          The new York times is right wing biased and the right loves corporations so you can see where I’m going with this

        Unsure whether to upvote parent comment, or be suspicious of intent
