Great post about Digger's concerns.
is there a bigger community of self-important whiners on the web?
"is there a bigger community of self-important whiners on the web?"
ROFL My thoughts exactly
Seriously, it looks like these "Top Diggers" take themselves just a bit too seriously. Maybe they need to get out of the house more.
You miss the point...
If they require top users to take 200 diggs and they submit about 30 articles a day. It clogs up the upcoming sections.
1. If you are an average user it still takes you 100 plus diggs to get to the top of the upcoming. With the clog you are likely to have your content seen less and less as top submitters will fill the top longer.
All voting to determine the articles going to front page is done in the upcoming section. The majority of users are not in the upcoming section and tend to hover on the front page more than the upcoming sections.
2. Content that is news worthy now takes twice as long to reach the front page. So what used to be a source of good breaking news becomes more and more dated and stale.
3. None of these changes will hurt the top diggers really. It just hurts everyone else.
Is it me or does anyone who uses the word "whiner" lose the arguement already, I dunno, maybe it's some kind of sophisticated debating point in the US. We don't use in the the UK, the only time I hear it is on pre-pubescent American teen movies.
Is it the same in US real life?
I'm not making an argument, just stating an opinion.
You are proposing a opinion that the initial assertion may be disingenuous, I call that making an argument.
edit: nevermind, this was not needed
