> Even though Digg was on decline, it was still bigger than reddit

It most definitely was not. reddit was already bigger than Digg long before v4 was launched. v4 did cause a bump in reddit's traffic, but it wasn't nearly as significant as people think. Most Digg users were already reddit users too. In fact, a lot of the power users were getting their stories from reddit.

That's why at the time the joke was that if you wanted to see a summary of reddit the day before, you just looked at Digg.
