pronetadvertising.com — "We've heard about a purported 'Bury Brigade' on Digg time and again, with sketchy pieces of evidence here and there but no concrete proof. Until now. Here's concrete proof to show you that the Bury Brigade exists and is hard at work."

What is Digg for if it is not about freedom any more? It looks like actul votes do not make any difference now here.

Buried. These diggspiracies are pissing me off. I don't usually bury stories, but this line of bulls**t deserves it.

People people please the evidence is no evidence at all what they want to do is criticize Digg and its community so that Digg and its communiy of users get offended and what to dig it down and once it is dug down the people will say it was dug because it showed that the article being dug down IS the proof but in reality it is ONLY getting dug down because it offends us. Reddit sucks. Digg digs.

"One morning, I started burying all Sony PS3 and Wii related articles because I was absolutely sick of hearing the fanboyism."This is the freaking point of why you Bury Brigade dudes are simply jerks: You don't bury a story just because you don't like it. There are legitimate reasons for burying a story, but "I don't like it" is just not one of them. Thanks for admitting your motive, though.

The only reason this is even flying around, is because people want Digg to not seem as reliable outlet for the the general populations opinion, therefore they can completely ignore the so called "Revolution" with candidate campaigning (RP). Ignore this, don't talk about it, don't even Bury it. Its bulls**t anyway. The mere fact that were paying so much attention to it and not the important issues at hand means "they" won.

I admit it, I wrote some scripts to operate 30 digg accounts simultaneously. all it takes is about 30 coordinated buriers to shovel enough negatives on for a significant group of people to just "join in the fun" and bury every post as well. A lot of casual diggers thing the "bury brigade" is a club you can join by simply burying when you see a lot of negative diggs. And I suppose in a way this is really how it works, even though it was never my intention for the burybots to operate this way.
