The current Digg is doing its best to destroy the goodwill they collected with the slightly-less-current Digg.
I started going there regularly about a year and a half ago, mostly because they would feature articles that I wouldn't find in my other typical websites. But in the last six months they have been optimizing to death, cutting anything that's not an instant success and publishing variant after variant of anything that's mildly successful (yay, another article on Twitter memes!). Clickbait titles are there too, along with a new-ish comment section that's 90% spam.
It's been a sobering lesson on what happens when you put growth above everything.
