“Q3 was a strong quarter,” Huffman said on Thursday’s earnings call, in which he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet): “Reddit is in a unique position; we’re not trying to be the next anything. We’re focused on being the best version of ourselves and what the internet needs most: a place where people can connect on almost any topic and find genuinely useful information.”
The wrong founder died, unfortunately.
Died due to criminal prosecution for something Meta was able to get away with Scott-free.
God damn America.
Wait was he the guy that hosted all of those academic articles and was prosecuted for it, the killed himself?
He hooked his laptop up to school servers and was copying all the data on them.

(1) Swartz didn’t share the files. Maybe he would have but when he earlier slurped the legal library it was to provide an indexing capability.
(2) He wasn’t a founder of Reddit (but was an early developer).
The excellent documentary on him is online for free (watch it before it gets taken down): https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ
I didn’t say he shared the files. I linked to the documentary in the comment you replied to, but on PeerTube.
Bleak.
But you’re not wrong. Motherfuckers.
