      Hot take is I don’t think anyone should care about Aaron Swartz. He didn’t do anything for Reddit in the merger and left without doing anything for Reddit so who cares. He then died being a martyr for a cause barely anyone cares about and his death didn’t inspire any change to education publication/copyright. Nobody should care.

      Edit: you can downvote me all you want but I would like someone to comment on 1 thing Aaron contributed to Reddit. Why should anyone remember his name other than ‘but he killed himself for the cause bro’.

        I think you have to convince everyone why it is reasonable that you are so angry and hateful towards someone you never knew.

          I wasn’t angry or hateful though? If anything I’m irritated of all the praise for not inherently doing anything.

            Literally I’ve seen two to three references of him after 17 years on reddit. You’re exaggerating how much people talk about him.
