Digg completely died after a few years

How did reddit survive? Why hasn't a non-cancerous alternative taken its place?

If an alternative would take its place it would become just as cancerous.

Digg kept redesigning their site and pushing their sponsored link bullshit. Reddit survived because it's a genuinely good platform.

ironic
reddits following in their footsteps rn
they're going to have to resort to pushing ads to make money at one point and the first step is disabling the classic ui and forcing users to use
shitty react
that and them banning subreddits left and right is going to be the downfall

not anymore

Thanks for the quality contribution to the thread user.

You haven't noticed the recent 54 redesigns?

Digg told people that it was selling spots on their front page and people didn't like that.

Reddit sells spots on their front page and tells people that its just some random guy who found a really funny Pepsi ad and 30,000 other people updooted it. haha

There's also the recent controversy that Reddit was allowing the spread of russian propaganda on their platform and it's unknown how involved the owners were in the whole thing. Wouldn't be surprized if they got a few million recently for not deleting pro-trump and neo-nazi posts

>muh russian narrative
You need to go back to plebbit

Reddit was Diggs non cancerous version, Voat didn't take off we just have to wait, one will pop up soon enough

Digg suffered from trying to push funny shit on their users before the society became retarded.

Reddit now does the exact same shit Digg did that pissed off everyone, except nobody's getting pissed. For whatever reason people now have attention spans lasting 20 seconds and any "controversy" gets completely forgotten after a day. Just look at Facebook. Everyone was so upset a couple days ago, now it's back to normal and nobody gives a shit about the data leaks anymore.

If Myspace did that shit back in the day they'd literally be forced to close their site

Diggs not dead wtf it’s literally better than ever

design wise i think what plebbit did was pretty nice dēsu, the tree-style commenting and the simple web 1.0-vibe (this is from 9 years ago i don't know how it looks now) made the site feel really comfy. if they made a website with reddit design but anonymous and with no voting system id use it

>people now have attention spans lasting 20 seconds and any "controversy" gets completely forgotten after a day.
Try 8 seconds. It's pathetic and how i know there's no hope that society will get unfucked.

this. september never ends

The new design they're rolling out now is fully web 5.0 padding overload with the ads taking up roughly 40% screen space on a standard 1024x768 display.

Oh, side note about the ads, you can block them ofc but their containers are indistinguishable from the other boxes in the sidebar, so you can't get rid of the huge hoxes labeled "ADVERTISEMENT" that take up roughly 40% of the screen space on a standard 1024x768 screen.

This. Plus, all major subs are already full of shills and know-it-alls. Reddit is the new Facebook (FB from 2010).
Jow Forums or any imageboard should be the future of social media/online communities imo. Lack of a social points system means that you can shill, contradict, shit post or post something useful and all of it gets the same exposure. No echo chambers, like most major subs.

Cancer needs only sugar in order to grow.
Let that sink in.

What's the matter, mad you can't downvote him because he disagrees with you?
