- sparky_z 6y agoIsn't that technically true, though? I thought Swartz joined them later, months after they had already launched the site.
- nl 6y agoYes, this is true. Aaron always seemed to regard it as a sore point, but he was never listed as a Reddit founder. I'm aware that PG has called him a founder, but seemingly the Reddit guys never thought of him as one.
- whamlastxmas 6y agoAaron's contract with the reddit founders explicitly gave him a "founder" title. To say he was never "listed" as a founder is misleading - listed where? He definitely was entitled to call himself as much and in most startup contexts it would be hard to claim he wasn't.

- SquareWheel 6y agoThe quoted section is accurate. Swartz received the title of co-founder as part of a merger, but he never actually co-founded reddit.
