Some of those tactics may seem more vile than others, but a dangerous reality exists that no one is talking about — with social networks comes theft, and very little pay off for content creators. E.g. I read formula1 news on [link] instead of f1 feeds. I think the big issue here is more about sites with snippets of text.

This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall.

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be.
