Funny how Aaron Swartz isn't mentioned in this video about reddit by CNBC. (www.youtube.com)

Idk man I was on Reddit basically since it 1 or 2 years in and felt like no one really knew about him who wasn’t there in the first 2-4 years or wasn’t around when he died. He was not a well known figure and as important as he was for reddit’s early trajectory, he wasn’t there for long. Less than a year if memory serves. Again he was important, but the windows of time for people to learn of him were small and the site was smaller.
