On a side note, the current form of digg is interesting, yet somehow poorly done. Go there, sort by year: get only things from 2024, since no way to get 2023 or a rolling year. Not to mention being able to choose all or certain time periods
In 2019 Digg posted a job listing for a links curator, and I cheekily applied, noting that I'm already doing the job anyway, so they might as well pay me for it. They didn't take me up on it, but like magic, the poaching went away.
I also have a small group of well-read friends who make an effort to send me stuff, that helps a lot too.
I started going there regularly about a year and a half ago, mostly because they would feature articles that I wouldn't find in my other typical websites. But in the last six months they have been optimizing to death, cutting anything that's not an instant success and publishing variant after variant of anything that's mildly successful (yay, another article on Twitter memes!). Clickbait titles are there too, along with a new-ish comment section that's 90% spam.
It's been a sobering lesson on what happens when you put growth above everything.
