We All Knew Digg was Corrupt but …
… did you know thatĀ all of Kevin Rose’s submissions to Digg.com end up making it to the front page? Over the past year, he has submitted an average of just under one article every two days, and every single one of these has been Dugg to the top. Gee, the founder of Digg.com coincidentally is 100% successful when making submissions to his ‘corruption-free’ site. What a surprise! Most Diggers probably have at best a 10% success rate. I won’t even bother spelling this out further. So much for new, democratic and dynamic communities of the Web 2.0 revolution!

Digg is not a true democratic system. Users do not have an even vote. By very nature, it is a system that is “gamed”. Digg is just a popularity contest. It has become the myspace of news.

Today We’ve seen an insane level of censorship over there, too. Digg is fascist and deserves no respect.
