Rest in Peace Aaron.
As a very out of touch dude. Who is this again? I recognize that face and I recall being genuinely sad about his death but that’s it
You got some good answers already but I just wanted to add…
The DOJ overcharged the hell out of him. Non violent, first time offender looking at decades? They were putting the screws on him in the hopes he’d plea, again to an unreasonable amount of time. Feels unethical to me.
Founder of Reddit and one of the developers of the RSS standard.
Huge Free speach advocate and very against intellectual “property”. He wanted knowledge to be free and accessible for everyone and killed himself after he was accused of things that could’ve brought him to prison for a very long time. He probably did these things which are kinda similar to things Sci-Hub does nowadays.
I think Aaron would have given Steve the finger and walked too.
Everytime i watch the documentary about Aaron, it makes me rrally sad.
The Internet’s Own Boy. Highly recommend it, someone else posted a comment with a link to watch it:
