Views on the new Design of Digg social bookmarking site?

I find the new Digg.com layout kind of confusing since there seems to be no categories, and the old list/blog style format was easier for me to use then the new design of Digg which is like http://pinterest.com/ mixed with link lists like on forums and other types of websites.

I also dislike that there is no commenting system.

I think http://www.reddit.com/ now is more user friendly then Digg.

The new Digg looks like a pretty standard blog in my opinion. The Digg'ss valuation as a business dropped significantly recently so I suppose they felt they needed to make dramatic changes.

Indeed, Digg made a lot of changes, and seem to be starting over like a fresh website where new users can post on it.

I read Digg deleted over 14 millions of users posts, all of Digg's member accounts and you can only sign in to Digg by using your Facebook account.

The one thing I like about the new Digg is there are no Ad banners and links, and sponsored Diggs on the new Digg.com, and it just contains content on its frontpage.
