    Top half is a google search, the bottom is the Reddit website. Notice how the official website says “created by two friends.”

      Man, you people need to put the rage aside and actually read things other than posts.

      Between November 2005 and January 2006, Reddit merged with Aaron Swartz’s company Infogami, and Swartz became an equal owner of the resulting parent company, Not A Bug.[36][37] Ohanian later wrote that instead of labeling Swartz as a co-founder, the correct description is that Swartz’s company was acquired by Reddit 6 months after he and Huffman had started.[38]

      Because Reddit was created by two people.

      Aaron was not involved in the starting of Reddit whatsoever. He didn’t come on board until Ycombinator basically forced a merge between Reddit and Infogami 6 months after Reddit launched.

      And he was fired within a year.
