Yes. I joined Digg around the time the HDDVD encryption fiasco then moved to Reddit when V4 happened. I've never seen a site die as fast as it did when Digg released V4. Reddit buckled under the influx of refugees and Digg became a dumpster fire. I guess it's inevitable that it would happen to Reddit, albeit not as dramatic as Digg's downfall. Digg shot itself in the back of the head whereas Reddit has terminal cancer at this point.
Yeah, I think Reddit just reached critical mass and was soured by politicking on the part of the admins. I remember when had a much smaller community feel, but that's long gone.

Yep, this is what happened I concur.
