Reddit's growth can be largely attributed to the fact that its competitor Digg, has pretty much fallen apart. The website's v4 redesign annoyed the majority of Digg's users and a huge number decided to leave for good. Reddit has frequently struggled with being portrayed as Digg's much smaller and less significant cousin.
If 2010 is anything to go by, Reddit will become king before long, assuming this story gets picked up by the broader public media, which frequently covered Digg's rapid growth.

I'd have to say that it was caused by the downfall of Digg. Ever since they redesigned Digg.com the site has been on the decline.

Isn't that what the article just said?

Digg died long ago once they started catering toward the "mainstream" and leaving the people who made it great in the dust!
