Next question: Is any website doing waht you propose to be done (and we all find reasonable)?</p>Nelson MedinaSat, 26 Aug 2006 09:01:15 -0000http://https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-real-reason-digg-and-reddit-are-in-trouble#comment-11149705<p>Indeed, the post was pretty much buried on Digg and Reddit.

But unfortunately the vast majority of people are idiots, so don't expect anyhting to change.</p>NilsFri, 25 Aug 2006 01:47:26 -0000http://https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-real-reason-digg-and-reddit-are-in-trouble#comment-11149700<p>This all makes complete sense. I am new to digg/reddit and I would have thought original content would be the only thing people want to see. Why bother with a yahoo re-post of a news story I read anyway?</p><p>P.S. As a new viewer of digg/reddit but a longtime blogger, I think reddit is better. People have posted my stuff on here and it gets seen ... on digg it is seen for 5 minutes and then gets washed away by new posts or those guys who have the super-powered ability to get noticed.</p>CashFri, 25 Aug 2006 01:19:44 -0000http://https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-real-reason-digg-and-reddit-are-in-trouble#comment-11149699<p>You make an excelent point. I always though that posting links of your own content was wrong, but now you have completely changed my mind. It is definatly a practice that should not be abused, but the beauty of these services is that if you are posting shit it will be burried anyway. By your definision of "blogspamming" (which I 100% agree with) these ppl are just comiting plagiarism and if cought should be banned from the community.</p>YellowbeardThu, 24 Aug 2006 13:55:39 -0000http://https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-real-reason-digg-and-reddit-are-in-trouble#comment-11149695<p>Spot on</p>HaydnThu, 24 Aug 2006 12:28:17 -0000
