        And monetized it and completely mismanaged it to shit to the point the whole user base migrated to Reddit.

          Did they monetize it? I don’t remember that really. I think they just redesigned the site abruptly and the user base didn’t like the change and migrated. Anyway, still always liked the community and diggnation. The founder was always a bit less of a dick than spez, despite his flaws.

            At the time it was basically Reddit for stupid people. All of those people moving to Reddit was the beginning of Reddit’s long slow decline.
