OtterWhat am I looking at
Reddit… Current CEO is the recipient. Aaron is the cofounder. The cool one.
I should say “was” sadly

Reddit user strongly implies Spez should kill himself.
squibletI read it as suggesting that Reddit decommercializes and technologically opens up. That’s more what Swartz was known for, to me.
Spez is Steve Huffman aka Pig Boy. He is current CEO of Reddit and one of the founders. Users largely blame him for the enshittifcation of Reddit over the past couple years in pursuit of profit.
Aaron is Aaron Swartz. He was also a co-founder of Reddit. He was very dedicated to the idea that knowledge should be open and free. He got caught downloading JSTOR articles in violation of JSTOR’s ToS. The feds charged him with CFAA felonies. He killed himself while awaiting trial. Really sad shit.
The implication is that Aaron never would have stood for this sort of profit-motivated enshittification.
