Yea I don't really get it...should I have clicked on the pic before reading because I'm that excited at mediocre-at-best sub-softcore porn?
I want to bury. I miss old digg :( Kevin Rose you suck!
And remember how Kevin Rose finally backed off, publishing a blog post with the AACS key in the title (which became one of the most highly-dugg stories ever), asking for forgiveness and saying things like:
"[A]fter seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be."
Yeah. The same thing is happening now. While the front page is showing day-old (or older) stories from Engadget and Mashable with 50 or 80 diggs, this 18-hour-old story clearly outlining all the problems with the new site has nearly 900 diggs and isn't popular yet:
Why is Digg censoring content once again? Why is the same guy who humbly apologized for trying to silence the community now approving that same censorship once again? Does the community no longer have any say in what appears on the site? What happened?
Hardly commented before today, but feel the need to voice my opinion that new Digg is just so bad. Reddit is hard on my eyes, but a better option than staying around here to find new and exciting stuff. I really don't like the idea of following and packaging based on submitters. I've wasted 5 years following this site and now it feels like I just don't know how to waste time anymore...How do I post this??

I'm reading this because Digg is poor and whored themselves out to terrible companies to make money.

Digg has broken an axle.
We might have to sell some oxen but we'll be back on the trail soon.

Digg v4 is such a disaster. Goddamit, Kevin Rose. Why do you have to make me use reddit?

The new Digg is so bad it makes Reddit look good.

Why would you write text berating someone for reading it?
Anyone who reads this comment must be a f**king moron.

Kill the automated sponsored ad story inserted on the Digg front page, add http://dads.new.digg.com to your ad blocker!

Where's the damn bury button? Actually, Kevin, with the way the "Top News" is now, you need to add a BURY ALL button.

Hey guys! Remember when Digg tried to censor the HD-DVD encryption key back in 2007?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_ke...
Remember how they'd delete stories containing the key and ban people who posted it?
http://www.wired.com/underwire/2007/05/blogger_...
Remember how everybody got so pissed off that the entire front page became full of stories talking about the key and slagging the site?

This one has nearly 1,300 diggs and is likewise suppressed:

Saw a Digg ad earlier today on the front page for: "These babes will beat each others clothes off!"
Now this?
Way to stay classy, Digg.

That picture is from the year 2007, those skanks have probably popped out an unplanned baby and gained 35 pounds since then.
