Reddit, for the most part, does not have this problem - reddit is about the community and the discussion, not about the MLP. Maybe Rose still doesn't understand (or maybe doesn't want to admit) why Digg failed.
> Rose also said that Digg hired individuals with very niche skills, like developers who only knew PHP and were not as useful once PHP went out of use.
If you own a startup, and you're hiring the kind of programmer that only knows one language, you're already making some pretty big mistakes.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y ago>reddit is about the community and the discussion This is very true. While you might look at it and think it's any other "news"/"meme" site, it is actually a large community made up of smaller, sub-communities, devoted to a very wide variety of topics. My Little Pony? Covered. Nonsensical technical babble? Covered. London? Covered. Obscure Japanese visual novel? Covered. AMAs? Covered. I think this is why reddit continues to grow and stick around. People aren't just there for the jokes, they are there for the community, and the communities which match their interests.

- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoSorry, that was from a common perspective. VXJunkies is a great source of information, particularly regarding recalibrating voqueon deltas.
