I imagine the existing users were both Digg and Reddit users, and started using Reddit more when they stopped using Digg.



Which one might expect would lead to more page views which jedberg said didn't happen. They didn't use the site more, they just became more engaged.


Keep in mind that commenting and voting don't count as page views since it's all AJAX. If you make no comments, one, or 50 on the same page, it's still one page view.

In fact, that was a main reason cited be people at the time as to why they liked reddit over other options -- because we didn't artificially inflate page views by forcing reloads.
