I'm not sure I agree. Clearly Digg was having some kind of monetization issue. This whole episode might be pretty calculated really. They had to know those changes where going to cause general outrage. They had to think that the benefit would outweigh that.
In the end they might add tremendous value.
What they didn't count on was the site taking a huge step back in terms of reliability.
- ojbyrne 16y agoI'm not sure which part of my comment you disagree with. But the monetization issue is (in my opinion) due to Kevin and Jay taking money off the table, and spending much of their time drawing digg salaries while building other businesses (revision3, pownce, wefollow, fflick). If they'd devoted 100% of their time to digg there wouldn't be a monetization issue.
- enjo 16y agoI took "off the table" to imply that they had decreased the companies value with Digg V4 in the order of 7 figures. I misunderstood.
