I have lost Respect for Digg

The whole fiasco at Digg with the HD DVD encryption scheme and related info has shown that the Digg users are akin to a group of middle schoolers with a free day and a box of magic markers, who just found out how to write, “for a good time call…..”

For Example:

Downfall of Digg

This info is already out, just let it go already, anyone who has the brains to use the code, should be able to figure out how to use a search engine. This kind of system gaming and wreckless digging goes to show why AOL/Netscape went with the Anchorperson system currently in place.

I find it annoying that what is usually a good place for information has turned into a waste of time within a day due to increased gaming and wreckless digging an article without reading it. That Said I don’t support DRM but again if you can use the info you should be able to operate a freakin search engine.
