This is a comically short lifespan. Didn't they launch less than like 6 months ago? To just torch it and shut it down is wild and right from the jump referencing downsizing the team... I got the impression this was a fairly small team from the beginning. Not to mention it was backed by stupendously wealthy cofounders making fortunes off the web 2.0 run of original digg and reddit, yet can't seem to stomach a bumpy 2 quarter initial launch? There was a lot in the new digg that I was concerned or at least not optimistic about but come on - are we even going to try anymore? | ||

> Didn't they launch less than like 6 months ago? Two months, according to The Verge. https://www.theverge.com/tech/894803/digg-beta-shutdown-layo... This is particularly embarrassing since from what I recall they were all in on AI with the new website, so to shut it down so fast because of it… | ||
