    he died in 2013. his involvement with reddit ended officially in 2007, but even by his own admission he stopped any involvement with the company when it was acquired by conde nast - he was part of reddit for less than a year.

    his death really doesn’t have anything to do with reddit’s current trajectory

      That’s good to know; even if he hadn’t died; he still wouldn’t have had anything to do with it. May he rest in peace.
