Just a friendly reminder, you referred to pageviews as "the most important metric", thus my question.
User engagement...
While pageviews can be used as a mediocre proxy for user engagement, I don't think it proves your thesis at all. Which is more valuable, 5x the uniques, or a smaller group who loads more pages? Depend on additional variables, no?
Which pretty much certainly equates to more visits and more unique visitors than digg.
As far as I can tell (using compete pro), pageviews is the only metric where reddit wins, with digg winning handily in the others. Digg seems to have 5x the uniques, and 50% more visits. This strikes me as accurate, since reddit is focused on comments, and digg seems to focus more on links.
that is generating less value to consumers
How are you measuring that?
Are you asserting that reddit creates more value than digg, but they fail to effectively monetize and capture it? Or are you asserting that reddit's value is non-monetary, but still worth paying for?
Comments
There were several variables in my statements.
