That’s just objectively false. He was mentioned on reddit frequently prior to his suicide, which was a very big deal at the time.
He was well known, yes, but for other things - he was rarely mentioned in relation to working on or helping to create reddit. The idea that he basically founded reddit seems to be something that people decided 3-4 years ago.
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.
