Is this the End of Digg.com ?

A pay-per-digg service called Usersubmitter.com has been launched which allows publishers promote their stores on Digg.com and at the same time pays user who digg the story submitted by the publisher.

Digg user will receive 10 cents for every vote they cast on the story, on the other hand the publisher is charged $20 + $1 for every vote. Isn’t that insane? Creators of Usersubmitter have struck gold !! but at the same time I get a feeling that Digg.com is no more democratic and it might loose its popularity. Is this the end of Digg? Lets just wait and see what Kevin Roses comes out with.

If you want to promote your story or earn money for digging, then headover to this place.

My 6th sense says, In the near future Digg bot may automate the task of Digging and to tackle this problem, Digg may introduce captcha for digging… ahha that would make digg suck even worst

  • I’m quite annoyed to think that usersubmitter.com can so easily manipulate Digg. So I decided to put together a little application that finds any stories being manipulated, lets you know with one click and then if you double click it the story will open in your browser so you can bury it sharpish.

  • I too was banned. Anyone else? Is there a tally anywhere?
  • I would like to see a publisher who is dumb enough to use that service
  • Oh wow Thilak, sorry to hear that. I was going to ask you if you were planning on participating in it.

    It looks like they do in fact have ways of detecting the paid diggers after all.
  • Yeah, I was banned from Digg for participating in it.
