I was having a little look through the Wikipedia article for Digg, to remind myself how their downfall went about. Found this absolute banger of a quote 😂

Everything does unfortunatelly... remember Google's "do no harm" quote?

"Don't be evil" was their actual quote. The fact that they removed it says a lot about their new direction.

Yeah, probably, forgot the exact quote 🤷.
