It's important to remember that Digg imploded for the same reason that Reddit is having trouble: a big investment, followed by demands to recoup it. Reddit was ready to take up the slack. The thing that will save Reddit is that there doesn't seem to be another service ready to absorb the outflow.

- coffeebeqn 3y agoThe death of digg was pretty anti climactic compared to this standoff. I’ve been going to Reddit less and less over the years to the point where I try to avoid it now. It’s a huge echo chamber and the voting system caters to the lowest common denominator. I do wonder if Reddit will pass the torch to a third platform or will this type of site die off. I don’t see the community surviving a very profit driven site which the IPO will force on them. I’m not sure what their moat is exactly other than the large userbase
