Digg at the beginning was good. But it slowly became advertising disguised as user submitted news stories. It was obvious as well they were deliberately driving traffic to certain websites. A hand full of power users and their network of 'friends' were controller the site. In the end they quite literally sold it out to the advertisers, it was fucking ridiculous. Something else has happened to reddit. It's been turned into a propaganda machine for government, and insane echo chamber. Politics has really made the site unbearable for me.
