You can't easily beat volume. I think people like to compare this to Digg's death, but the Internet was much smaller back then and how many normal people even knew about Digg?

I was never really on Digg, even though I was on the Internet since the early 00's, but yeah, everything dies eventually.

Can't think of anything aside from some obscure message boards that still exist today.
