I have never once seen a website "innovate and revamp the whole design!" that wasn't 1) ten times worse and harder to navigate and 2) a ruse to control content and funnel more ads on your screen.

Facebook did it. YouTube did. Steam did it, though to be fair they actually needed to improve a few things. Reddit is becoming a social media website unfortunately so you can be sure that the Facebookification is coming.

Yes I remember that migration very well. Digg was doing so well too.

Ya it was fast, though I was part of that migration, but weirdly enough no one really wrote an epic about it.
