Is it growing slowly and consistently, or experiencing explosive growth? The link I was replying to shows that while Reddit and Digg started at about the same time, Reddit really only took off when Digg committed suicide.

Correlation is not necessarily causation.

Consistent exponential growth (which is what Reddit has been experiencing since launch, in 2005) always looks explosive once the base gets big enough.
