Digg, once a leading news aggregator, is making a comeback under its founder Kevin Rose and former rival Alexis Ohanian, cofounder of Reddit. They purchased Digg from Money Group in early 2025, marking an unlikely reunion given their competitive histories during the early web 2.0 era. Despite past animosities, the duo's collaboration has the backing of investment firms True Ventures and Seven Seven Six. While Reddit flourished into a $28 billion company, Digg struggled to sustain its relevance, ultimately becoming a historical footnote in digital media.
I really disliked you for a long time,” Ohanian told Rose during an interview with Fast Company. “When I first heard about Reddit, I remember somebody was like, oh, there’s this site that does voting like you guys do.”
The animosity was mutual. 'When I first heard about Reddit, I remember somebody was like, oh, there’s this site that does voting like you guys do,' Rose recalled.
