You could write a memoire with more details in 10-20 years and publish it.

It would be nice who pushed for this, why, didnt they understand that it will be a disaster? Didnt they understand power users? Even moderation issues, but (as far as I remember) digg was less brigaded politically than what happens nowadays that internet matured (state actor level).

Was digg even a startup at that point? It was a full mature website? Or at least gave such impression.

Maybe the money was "low" - as far as I remember Google wanted to buy it for 90M, but come on, those billion websties were mostly written off, since they are impossible to monetize.
