It reminds me of the Digg exodus to reddit.
was getting tired of digg in the past, esp when its boss sometimes was shown as the headline there for no reason... nice to see reddit is making it.
Absolutely. Before reddit "digg" was the big site. And suddenly digg died and all users moved to reddit. And digg died because of a "re-design". Can't believe reddit is doing the same mistake.
Look at what happened to Digg. Digg "won" in the end, but people moved elsewhere (actually, mostly to Reddit).
Digg died when they rolled out v4 for this exact reason. Reddit was there when people got salty and they left and never went back. Haven’t been to digg in probably 10 years. Just cracked it open and it’s basically buzzfeed now.
I remember when Digg was bigger than Reddit and then after a certain Digg site redesign they lost a significant number of their users to Reddit and never really recovered.
Digg kicked its own arse. Reddit was just around at the right time.
I remember Digg being more popular than Reddit more than a decade ago. What happened that caused Reddit to succeed where Digg failed?
Title should probably be 'How Digg's fuckup benefited Reddit'
Digg dug their own grave with the sweeping changes that drove everyone to reddit.
