Got to the historical revision at 0:38, and stopped. I was on reddit when Swartz jewed them, and it was a heavily discussed topic by everyone involved.

Swartz was not an actual co-founder. He was a scammer right up until the day he skipped out on his debt to society.

His own site failed. Then his investor convinced the reddit kids to accept Swartz because of his supposed coding skills they needed, and to give him founder status.

Well, once he got the founder status, he then decided to leave his desk, computer, and job to go to Thailand for drugs and whatever. Asked when he was coming back to do his job, "Fuck you, I'm never coming back" was his reply.

But that propaganda movie about him did its job well...
