    It was like this on Reddit 8 years ago too. It was all "why Reddit is better than Digg" etc, after a while people stopped giving a damn about Digg and then Digg collapsed.

      I think reddit was about the same size as Digg when that migration occurred, so it was able to absorb the influx of new users without a huge disruption. Snapzu is essentially a blank slate at this point. Since (I assume) almost all its users are reddit refugees, it makes sense that the first thing we do on arrival is talk about why we're here.

        This was long before the Digg migration though. Hopefully the juvenile users that followed from Digg to Reddit stay at Reddit. Reddit had traffic problems a while after the Digg migration which I think they blamed on the load bearing servers. I remember it took quite some time before it was improved.
