    You should probably read up on the original author of reddit, Aaron Schwartz, before claiming capitalism made it.

      I know about Aaron Schwartz. His beliefs didn’t change the fact that Reddit had major VC backing and wouldn’t have existed without it.

      It’s really not a hard concept to grasp.

        reddit needed capital funding to get started in a capitalist economy

          Bruh, reddit was created in search of capital. It grew and attracted communities in search of capital.

          Reddit wouldn’t have existed otherwise.

            Aaron Schwartz did not author reddit in search of capital. He created it because he thought it would facilitate internet communication. Ohanian thought he could profit off of it.
