Ever since the Reddit API revolt began, I've been hearing about its similarities with Digg's downfall. So I looked it up online, and it really has some crucial similarities.

The similarities are amazing, especially considering Reddit was one of the succesors of Digg. They can now enable other successors by making stupid decissions and alienating core users.
I wonder if this speaks to the unsustainability of platforms like these, or the cycle can be broken by making good decissions.

Tbf lots of popular posts on reddit is either repost or from tiktok.
Yup. Reddit used to be the place to go to be ahead of the news cycle, but it hasn’t been that for quite some time.
They are now. Tiktok is the primary producer of content nowadays.
