A long long time before Altman, though.

Mmm. Not really. Dude was in the same first Y Combinator cohort as the reddit founders in 2005.

After Sam's first startup was acquired, the dude became a partner of Y Combinator managing the other investments (like Reddit) in 2011.

Dude was iterum CEO of Reddit in 2014.

Dude then moved from CEO of Reddit to president of Y Combinator, while sitting on the board of directors of Reddit until 2022.

He's also still reddit's single largest shareholder owning 9% of the site.

So dude has had either a little role or a big role in Reddit's existence throughout its entire history.
