In theory, this should be the old guard redditors, who were on before it became a cesspool of idiocy. That said, it really could go either way.

I've been using reddit for 7 years. For the past 3 years it has gone to shit. I hate it now. I've been waiting for this site for years. I feel like I've become much stupider since reddit went downhill. Thank god I never have to go back to that pit of hell.

I've been on it for the past 5 years and it slowly devolved into a shithole. It happened so gradually that it didn't bother me until this year that even after I'd unsubscribed from all the defaults, the way people behaved pissed me off

Before digg killed itself reddit was really good. Now in comparison even the old digg is an oasis compared to the shithole that is now reddit. I'd like to kick kevin roses' ass. If he didn't fuck up digg then digg would be popular right now since the idiotic masses would be attracted to the bright colors of digg and reddit would still be good. What a fucking idiot that guy is digg could be worth half a billion by now if he didn't ruin it.

I remember every time Digg was mentioned, the next comment would be, "Hey, that's our rival!". I was surprised to find what Digg has become now, actually interesting articles without any comments. Reddit and Digg truly switched places.
