Reddit before Reddit. Another community link aggregation site where users would "digg" (upvote) the most interesting stories across a variety of categories. After an unpopular site redesign and a poor algorithm that favored a handful of power users, the userbase left en masse to join the competing platform, Reddit.

In the wake of the entire userbase leaving, Digg turned into some kind of generic curated news site or something, nobody is really sure because nobody went there for like a solid 15 years. Just this month, original Digg co-founder Kevin Rose and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian purchased Digg back from whoever the hell owned Digg lately intending to once again compete as a Reddit alternative.
