          Your source admits Spez was a jailbait mod. MAYBE he was made one without knowing, but he DEFINITELY could have removed himself and didn’t.

          Spez was a jailbait mod for years. That’s a fact.

            Maybe he was made one without him knowing…

            He could have removed himself immediately upon noticing…

            Source for the fact he noticed?

            Ewww I’m defending Spez

              As an engineer myself: if I was ceo of my own social media company, I’d periodically go through my account at a fine-grained level and see if there was anything weird going on. Hell, I’d probably use some internal APIs and webhooks or whatever to track and categorize my profile’s interaction with the network at large.

              I find it unlikely that he had no idea about this.

    Of the three people involved in Reddit’s creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit’s greater vision.

    Swartz was a far better person.
