reddit is fucking gay. before aaron worked on the site, it didnt even have COMMENTS, spez is a talentless fuck, and the other guy has shit beards.

aaron is 75% why reddit became this big today, its sad how they are shitting all over his work on the site. #Fuck reddit in the cunt, m8

It's OK, if Aaron were alive he wouldn't want anything to do with losers that now run reddit.

I’m sure if Aaron were alive Reddit would be completely irrelevant. It’d be a memory in the back of your mind like MySpace.

WTF is this reddit thing?

Reddit had a minor trafficker as a power user and the staff are beta cocksuckers.

The whole of Reddits staff and it's servers could spontaneously combust and nothing of value would be lost.

He hasn't even been cancelled, has he? Usually when you exclude someone, it needs some kind of excuse.

He’s canceled to me.

I've heard the name frequently enough that this made me finally look the guy up. Definitely a cool figure with a tragic ending. Sad and strange that reddit can't even acknowledge him.

And this is news why?

The sub that you are replying in is named s/MeanwhileOnReddit and not s/news.

Keep in mind they also excluded the third guy to join Reddit. Aaron was the fourth member on the team. So they didn't rewrite history but rather only focused on the very, very beginning of Reddit. This article from 2014 covers the basics of how it started and explains how Chris and Aaron where brought in.
