Digg's short-lived reboot is on pause, and a sizeable proportion of staff is being laid off, but the story isn't over. Founder Kevin Rose sold the company in 2012 but repurchased it, alongside Alexis Ohanian, in 2025, relaunching it in open beta in January 2026 as "the front page of the internet, now with superpowers." However, it was pulled from the app store today, with CEO Justin Mezzell citing the "brutal reality of finding product fit" and an "unprecedented bot problem." What now? Rose will return to Digg full time to figure out next steps. Here's @Sarahp's story for @Techcrunch.
