Is there a consensus about what caused the decline of Digg? I thought it had a lot to do with the redesign that couldn't be reverted, but I don't like to peddle hearsay and assumptions like it's the truth, especially since I never used Digg.
- patrickod 15y agoIIRC the redesign was the final straw for many users and caused the mass-exodus. I think the functionality of subreddits and the ability to completely ignore the "mainstream content" if you so wish has been the main feature that has helped reddit stop the decline.
- AtTheLast 15y agoSubreddits are what will keep Reddit strong. Even though Reddit has tons of members, subreddits make it feel much smaller and personal.
- recursive 15y agoI know they suffered a big drop when it came out that they were manually curating the links on their front page. I don't remember the details, but that's what did it for me.
