Digg and Dignation just ned to end!

I don't know if this will be posted, or if the mods will flag this as not following the rules, but I just want to add my OPINION on what I think about Diggnation and the hosts, and their website.

First, I'm an old guy in my late 50's. I've been a software engineer working since 1990, so I have 36 years of experience out of college, and since I was coding while in college professionally, I have almost 40 years of experience. I've seen technologies come and go, I've never been an early adopter, and that has served me well.

1. I have never used digg, not in the old days, not in the new days ... never used it. I never even used Reddit until I think last year.

2. as for the show, I watched the original diggnation, but I don't think the show came anywhere near the East Coast, so I never saw any of the shows live ... which I am fine with.

3. After nearly 20 years, and now both Alex and Kevin are near 50 yo ... I don't see how either of them have grown-up or matured at all. It's like their 49 going on 32, I don't see any maturity at all except they aren't drinking as much. I hate to say it, but their routine is just old and stale ... again IMHO.

So, Alex .... seems like a nice guy, but really hasn't done much. In his life, the biggest thing he has done is Diggnation, what else is on his resume to really speak of? He's not a technologist, he's not a futurist, the best that I can he is that's a technology enthusiast, period!

Kevin on the other hand, I wouldn't trust worth a damn! I saw a video on YT recently, where it showed CEO losing their company after ONE horrendous decision, and Digg.com going to version 4 of the UI killed it, and that was Kevin.

For Kevin lightning struck once! His attempt to have lightning strike twice was a failure, Digg was not reborn! He's a one-hit wonder, hoping that lightning strikes twice and it won't. I don't know anything about his finances, and I don't care, but it just seems he's an investor, a wannabe entrpreneur, and maybe he's good at raising money. Despite approaching 50, he still seems naive and dumb as ever.

I've been watching the new Diggnation, and I'm not impressed. Same old stale content. It's annoying watching Alex and especially Kevin be AI fanboys. They don't ever talk about the company, the finances, the data centers, the circular financing, the AI Slop, or other dangers that can be associated with AI. I know I am watching these in the summer of 2026, and some of these vids were from a year ago ... I get it. But watching them fanboy over AI, and actively creating AI SLOP is annoying, and clearly an indication that they have no real in-depth knowledge on this technology.

If I were a VC, I personally would NEVER, EVER trust Kevin Rose's judgement on anything in technology. He might be making some money from his investments, and I'm sure he's always looking for new ones, but I think he's gone as far as he's going to go.

Again, this is all just my opinion.
