I enjoy Digg as an absolutely ordinary member but it is interesting to follow some trends in the community and progress of certain users - usually those you see frequently and start to recognize by their avatars.

And I hope you are wrong about Digg losing members, but I think that is a very real risk with the changes they are making. Thanks for the comment, Svetlana.

The terrible thing is that the only result Digg is going to get is losing some of its brilliant members - together with high-quality content they contribute. But will that actually improve Digg - I strongly doubt that. Thank you for mentioning Profy interview in your 2nd update, Mathew.

The bonus EXP comes when you get your story on the Diggnation podcast. Why remove this system? The system rewards good submissions, removing it will only increase Spamming of Digg because the spammers pay!
