Comments on: What I Don’t Like About Digg: Bias http://www.techipedia.com/2006/what-i-dont-like-about-digg-bias/ tamar weinberg is a social media consultant and tech geek at heart Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:14:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: AdamT http://www.techipedia.com/2006/what-i-dont-like-about-digg-bias/#comment-2876 AdamT Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:15:53 +0000 http://www.techipedia.com/2006/11/02/what-i-dont-like-about-digg-bias/#comment-2876 Digg is the adolescent playground of braindead zombies, sarcastically spouting their so-called "knowledge" derived from slacking off, playing videos games all day, text messaging, and what they've absorbed (without any effort whatsoever) from our dumbed-down culture and propaganda television. They bury stories with signifigance and digg up stories of unworthy signifigance in their cess pool of mass ignorance. It is ironic, but a glaring example of societal degereration. This group-think, collectivist mentality makes me sick. Digg is a sad example of how society has degraded into moronic despotism with the highest level of arrogance. A sign of the times as culture implodes from a lack of anything meaningful or truthful.

The maturity level is higher there, and maybe this does have to do with the smaller number of users. I think it's also a different type that flocks to Reddit versus Digg, with the former being more well-rounded than Digg itself.

Personally, I think part of the problem is that the more popular digg gets, the more people and therefore more of the "crowd" anonimity mentality that plagues big cities. People ironically act less mannered when there is less chance of a personal connection. Those are some good observations.
