They are just plain greedy at this point … no way a handful should have 60% of the popular submissions and the submissions ain’t that hot for the most part.

The first as a social news site, and the second as a social bookmarking site. I can use my posted digg stories as bookmarks, laboriously searching for duplicates before I post, and digging rather than posting if they already exist; or I can decide to post only notable stories which I hope will be original. If I do the former, I add several steps to my bookmarking (with diminished navigability due to the lack of tagging), if I do the latter, then my motivation for submission is unclear, and my reward (successful posting, popularity of post) uncertain. Submission of notable stories might be done out of social honour, in search of popularity, as a product or service announcement, or in support of a meme, organisation or product. To time pressed adults (rather than the pimply uber geek / tech teen contingent), spending time on such submissions - rather than posting a blog entry, or writing a story for a more fully developed news site (such as Newsvine) simply doesn’t make sence. Hense we see a small number of dedicated hobbyists supplying the majority of news on Digg, and a much greater number of ‘casual’ readers who ignore the sites social features.
