I suppose it's semantics and concerns ones perception of time, but there's also general the pattern of collective memory decay, attention shifts and link rot, onsetting shortly depending on the cultural event or phenomenon of interest.
Once something is past this 'recency' window, we may want to start looking into additional examples more reflective of current times. That is not to say the Digg exodus is an insignificant event, but that there have been a fair few exodi since--StackExchange, Twitter's infosec sphere, streamers between YouTube/Twitch, Snap/Tiktok, failed SVOD services.
