UPDATE:
I think this must have been a glitch. Oh well. What a waste of a rant.
I used to quite like Digg. It was a site that, whilst generally letting the "community" vote up poor, uninteresting articles, was like a Labrador puppy. Brainless, but lovable and flappy. Yes, you'd skip over nearly everything, but what hey, at least you were up to date and some of the stuff published was mildly diverting.
But now you have to subscribe to read "articles" via the RSS feed.
I haven't seen such a spectacularly moronic self-immolation as this for at least five years.
Sell your tech stock now.
Goodbye, Digg.
