Now Digg is rolling in the money the power users are violating the TOS. It is funny how the violations didn't matter for the past few years, but now suddenly threaten the fabric of the universe or something. I am not anywhere near the top 1,000 Digg users and have no stake in what happens to them. What is happening is the "new" thing, companies exploiting users to create content and then dumping them. After the user base is there the individual users don't matter anymore. Heck it is pretty easy to have many users turn against a top user, when you can create as many accounts as you want.

I guess some people use scripts? Even with all the bans, though, it seems like there are still people there that use them, judging from the way some posts hit front page almost immediately -and not for unique or special content. Just one take. I’m not a veteran Digg user but find it confusing. I guess some people use scripts?
