Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

Being owned by venture capitalists is pretty much an assurance that they'll turn it to shit as much as they can get away with. The entire reason people abandoned digg for reddit in the first place was because it was selling out to ad space and shill accounts and manipulation. The venture capitalists will want big returns on their investments.
