Honestly Kevin Rose didn’t listen to his users in 2010, made changes to satisfy advertisers and investors and it caused the end of Digg. He forced that Digg bar to track users, took away the option to bury post so advertisers didn’t get any negative feedback, and finally did a UI revamp to push publisher paid posts that totally drove people away despite the tons of user feedback the entire time saying that they didn’t like the changes. I do not expect any type of attitude change from him, once he gets a good enough user base to sell, he will cater to advertisers and investors again to make the UX worse and add more tracking in order to increase profit.
