If L33tPwnr01 submits an article that bashes on Hillary Clinton, he'll digg it, logon to L33tPwnr02, digg it, logon to 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 until his stupid submission has enough votes to count as a "legitimate" article. digg is stupid and all its members are simple you forgot the worst part: a huge chunk of users are simply the same person under different aliases.

The #1 reason I hate Digg nowadays is that it's very often painfully slow for me. Wow - I can feel the hate 100 meters away!

The #1 reason I hate Digg nowadays is that it’s very often painfully slow for me.

I fucking hate Kevin and Alex... they are both fucking wankers. Digg totally sucks. I use to be cool back in the good ol days, but I fucking hate it now. I mean... I'd rather have a back massage by Hitler than go to Digg. Fuck Digg, Fuck Kevin & Alex and fuck all the elitist assholes on Digg. Also, fuck Michael Arrington, too. ;) I fucking hate Digg.

If you don't mind a plug for a friend of mine, http://digg-this.blogspot.com is the spot for an intelligent and rational approach to digg sucking. It's digg nation dot com.

We have Kevin Rose, who used to be super cool... now is just a burnt out pothead who works for Mr.Big (that nerdy dude who owns Revision3). I mean face it that guy is a loser and just wants to be cool. You can't control your content like that (moderating - was probably originally some 'nice little feature' Kevin came up with that ran into a 'standard of user based content' guide some dick planted in his lap) So they moderate their content to what they THINK their users want, and what best suits the numbers of their show, Diggnation. *cough put on by u guessed it Revision3* They lost their good audience, and their real quality content a LONG ass time ago. They really did have some badass users... some REAL 'old skool' punks out there. But they're gone. Why? Because if you are a badass, you're too busy BEING a badass to type it all up in some blithering rant much like this one. Really you have to look behind digg to understand why it sucks.
