Someone did a brief writeup on Swartz and Reddit on reddit. Pretty sure it’s been deleted, I saved it and it’s gone. It went against the hivemind take on Swartz as some sort of noble freedom fighter and offered evidence that he was naive, out of touch, didn’t have as much to do with Reddit as everyone thinks, and he was obviously troubled.

I have to take anything painting him as some kind of hero with a grain of salt.
