Me! I was a huge fan of Kevin Rose due to TechTV and jumped on board as soon as he released it.
I'm in a similar boat. I used slashdot occasionally (still do), but once I heard Kevin Rose was involved with digg, I started using the site heavily. I only stopped when digg v4 dropped.
I'll have to see what he's up to these days.
Although I think his heart is in the right place, he is essentially peddling bird NFTs.

There will never be someone as cool as Kate awkwardly dancing and saying "it's menus a-poppin today on windows tips"
Leo Laporte was the bomb.
I listen the "Classical Sprouts" podcast with my kids, hosted by Kate Botello. I think they get tired of my saying "I knew of her when she was a dorky co-host of a tech support tv show!"
Oh shoot. I gotta check this out.
Yeah I came in from the TechTV days too.
Sara Lane had a download of the day about the Synergy network kvm thing. "It works for both windows and linux."
That's how I ended up installing Linux for the first time.. I didn't know anything about it other that I hated windows and that was something different. 20+ years later I basically haven't been without a Linux box ever since.
