I got a question sir
Why did you remove Arron Swartz name from the Co-Founders list? He helped Reddit to where it was (and if Musk and basically buy Tesla early on, if this was the right incident, and be called the founder, then I sure as heck would think that because of the merger that Arron would still have his name)

Because his views on the need for free-speech online and the corporations influence on internet culture didn’t go down to well with Steve huffman and co.
Reddit used to embody the values of Schwartz but now it embodies the complete opposite.
Now they are trying to scrub any traces of his existence so people don’t question the new status quo.
