Okay so Digg is one of my favorite sites but seems to hold less and less value everyday

It used to be that you could find info there first; that geeks would share things before mainstream could

Now i swear i vist 3 sites and the info there comes before digg gets it and those three sites constitutes 60% - 70% of the content on digg

The sites are Gizmodo, Engadget, and Lifehacker (although i see diy:happy stories there too)

I'd be fine if people would just link to these sites as that's where there info came from but they dont, they copy the article (sometimes word for word) and post it on their own site.

I guess i'm just tired of digg being used as a traffic generater i wish it could be breaking tech news again - without all the crap

that's what suck when a site like digg becomes popular - all the money grubbin fools come out to play, digg shouldn't be used as a way to get traffic to your site (that's missing the point in my opinion your site should strive to contain info that demands to be spread on digg)

oh well, digg did reveal to me that paris got sent back today to server her full 45 day sentnece (thanks to doyle <---- i watch what he diggs)

end rant

Edit ----> I just realized i had digg only showing tech stories so the percentages would be off if you were browsing all stories.
