The similarities are amazing, especially considering Reddit was one of the succesors of Digg. They can now enable other successors by making stupid decissions and alienating core users.

I wonder if this speaks to the unsustainability of platforms like these, or the cycle can be broken by making good decissions.

    In a sense, yes it speaks to the downfall of all these platforms. But it’s not a new phenomenon. Enshitification, specifically as a result of venture capitalist investment money.
