2. Digg is essentially controlled by cabals of Evil Digg Overlords. They decide which stories live and which stories die.

3. Digg permalinks describing a story often show up higher in search results than the actual story.

4. There are too many “OMG WTF is this KEWL PICTURE” type of stories. These are the Web 2.0 equivalent of those massively forwarded chain e-mails from your grandma.

5. Digg continues to corrupt the English language. “Dugg” is not a word. “Dugged” is not a word. Just stop it. You people are just going to seem silly when Digg is no longer around.

6. Digg’s freeloading, unappreciative traffic destroys bandwidth, melts servers, and drastically lowers click-through rates for AdSense. Digg traffic is worthless.

7. Digg is responsible for the propagation of those damn “Digg it” buttons on every website. It is my greatest wish that a savior will create a browser plug-in that automatically blocks that tool of Satan.

8. Digg’s black rot long ago infested blogs. Thanks to their evil influence, every blog post is now a how-to, a numbered list, or a diatribe against [INSERT POLITICIAN HERE]. We must appease our Digg overlords!

9. On the off-chance that an actual informative story is submitted, it quickly buried under an avalanche of vapid technology news or celebrity crotch shots.

10. “Digg” has consolidated too much power. When it is inevitably purchased by Microsoft, Time-Warner or News Corp., who will control the flow of traffic then? [evil laugh]

In short: screw you, Digg. And, in the ironic chance that this is actually submitted to Digg, screw you Digg freeloaders, too.
