Although Reddit was launched a few months after the launch of Digg, their features and basic characteristics were almost the same, with users in both of them publishing, discussing, and voting whether they were good or bad.

For many years, Digg has been more popular than the Reddit site, but all this was changing by August 2010 when Digg made a fatal mistake as a suicide by launching a controversial redesign known as " "The Fourth Edition" was the reckless move to end years of bad decisions and scandals, sparking the spark of Deg's collapse.

The update included the removal of many popular features, and most of the new features introduced were in the interest of advertisers at the expense of its popular user base. A few days after the adoption of this new update, users protested against it by flooding the front page with links leading to its first competitor; (Redit) site, which caused mass exodus.
