Oh damnit. I actually like current Digg. Doesn't nearly have the reach it used to, but its definitely in my "scan once a day list" for a couple interesting articles.

> Digg founder Kevin Rose has teamed up with former rival Alexis Ohanian to buy the once-popular content aggregator as they bet on an artificial intelligence-powered revival of the platform that once drew around 40 million monthly visitors.

Sounds way worse.

Edit: And, "Current Digg" is apparently down now.

Like a lot of guys who haven't had a hit since the dotcom boom, he seems to have spent the past decade jumping on whatever bandwagon. He went big into crypto, too. https://www.coingecko.com/en/nft/moonbirds
Another pattern I've seen is people recycling their old ideas, but with a twist that's the latest trend.
The floor price for these things isn't awful ($1000) as NFT PFPs go, so they've retained some sort of value, perhaps because of Rose.
