Digg sucks.

Remember when Digg used to be for tech news? Yeah, me too.

Obviously, obviously, I’m at least as interested in politics as anything, but I did like Digg for tech news. There’s still stuff to be found there if you have time to really look for it, but if you’re like me–also interested in politics–going there is simply not worth the waves of nausea most of the time. And now, the tech stuff is lame most of the time, because you have people who aren’t tech geeks digging up lame stories.

Look at this garbage. And this. It’s a full-blown cult echo chamber, even worse than when the crazy Paulbots ruled the roost.

Revised guaranteed front pager at Digg:
HILLARY & MCSAME HACK OBAMA’S MACBOOK WITH LINUX-BASED SPYWARE FROM PIRATEBAY!!! Save the world, vote Obama ‘08! God Bless Amerikkka for Barack Obama!

And of course, the troofers and anti-Semites (usually the same people) still run rampant over there. I wonder…why do I ever go there? Most of the time I’m there just burying stuff, hoping the trash won’t get to the front page. Digg sucks.

    “cult echo chamber” …amen, amen and amen, these people feed on each other and look to the group for reenforcement(on both sides of an issue or belief). Thank God you are an individual and remember the rule, if an organization was not founded to be conservative it will, given time, become liberal.

    Well, I guess its still a good place to get backlinks :) At least a few months ago when Ron Paul owned the internets, you could find a discussion of monetary policy or enumerated federal powers.

    Yup, it was a great way to get traffic, if one wrote a Paultard post. Otherwise, it is virtually worthless, seemingly being simply another chatroom for nutters.
