Please somebody enlighten me... I only very vaguesly recall the name Digg, I'm a noob. What happened there, what's the story?

Things were going well for digg, including raising lots of money from VCs. Of course this led to a lot of pressure on digg to monetize and add features that were bad for users and good for profitability. I forget the exact changes, but it was bad enough that there was a mass exodus from digg to reddit.
So now a decade later the cycle repeats.
