Digg cuts jobs over 'brutal reality' of AI bot surge

Digg is laying off a sizeable portion of its staff, citing 'brutal reality' in the digital environment and a surge in AI-driven bot activity. This comes after the once-popular content ‌aggregator had announced its comeback. CEO Justin Mezzell said in a statement that Digg is shrinking to a core team after failing to find product-market fit against established online platforms.
