Hopeless Geek

I used to love Digg. I really did. Every day, possibly several times a day, I’d hit the site and run down the front page opening all the interesting articles in new tabs and then the comments as well if it was something I wanted to know more about. It was quite nice for a few months.

Then they got money. Ever since that day, Digg has been going downhill quite fast. First came the popularity, and then the trolls that come with it, then the exodus of the good comment-writers because of the trolls. Later came the large upgrade the money paid for that alienated a large number of users and generally killed the features I used frequently.
