    Not even mentioning Schwartz was a huge indicator that this is a bullshit paid-for story from Reddit/Spez. Absolutely NOBODY who would bring up the founding of Reddit without mentioning Schwartz unless they were paid not to. This is a hack piece from a paid shill.

      NYT don’t do “paid” stories.

      However, the journalism is superficial (lazy) and seems to skim across the surface. This was written by someone who doesn’t understand the tech – so they interviewed someone pro (Spez) and someone con (the super mod) – did some ping pong with quotes and TADA! An article!
