So, maybe crazy conspiracy guy. Probably, actually.
But l mean…
-
/u/maxwelhill is still silent since Ghisilaine Maxwells arrest. This was a long term power user and has been around pretty much since the beginning. At the time it went silent, the account was #8 in total karma.
-
Aaron Swartz was a founder of reddit and died by “suicide” in 2013. Lots of controversy around all events leading up to it. He was hanged, just like Jeff Epstein. Perhaps he knew too much?
-
Reddit was scarily protective of /r/theDonald.
-
Spez was a mod of jailbait subs. And was quite reluctant to do anything about them, too.
-
I still contend that monetizing API was a strategic move to get long term tech-savvy users (the proponents of open source, choice in software…largely left-wing users) off the site…they wanted us gone.
-
I still contend that Ron Paul’s 2008 reddit fame was a trial run for utilizing social media to mobilize young white men towards conservativism.
Idk. Maybe I’m just being really paranoid, but man…I’m really looking at reddit, Spez, and the past decade or so in a different light.
It seems pretty cut and dry to me. He was the victim of an insanely overzealous investigation to the point that they were literally following him around everywhere and even got his girlfriend to turn on him. There have been numerous other people that have gone for the same reason previously. The second guy they tried to pin the anthrax mail killings on from the early 2000s suffered the exact same fate as one notable example.
