Wasn't AI part of their "selling" point?
"we're reddit, but with AI!"
I noped so hard away from digg
Right? Weren’t they making some AI podcast or something as well?
None of that sounded good.
If it was, it was a bad stratagy.
AI is the only industry that is somehow nonprofitable, without customers, and yet also propping up the economy right now.
Just waiting for this stupid bubble to pop
I mean, reddit only got big because Digg made some very stupid moves before, so ... pretty on brand
Reddit was doing fine before the influx from Digg. That's one of the reasons people migrated to reddit in the first place - because it was already viable. That said, it was an influx of users, for sure.
It was better before the influx from Digg imo
