At the height of digg, I thought Rose was kind of cool. One of those Silicon Valley success stories that used to inspire tech enthusiasts like me. I watched diggnation and bought in to the culture being presented. But I’ll never forget that when digg 4 released, and bombed, Kevin threw his own employees and developers under the bus instead of taking responsibility for strategic mistakes. It was really eye opening to me about him and many of the other frauds that Silicon Valley hoists up as role models. Since then, he’s done nothing to dissuade me that he’s just another talentless tech-bro asshole that got way more attention and money than he deserved.
I watched Diggnation a lot too because it felt like TechTV was living on in some little way. I remember thinking Alex Albrecht was pretty cool at the time. I haven’t thought about that in well over a decade. I’d rather not look him up now because I don’t want to know if he’s actually a piece of shit like Tommy Talerico haha.

Same thing with Spez, tbh.
Why would we assume you’re not being honest? Pretty sure we’re mostly all here due to hating Spez.
I think you overthought my response, tbh
