"In 2007, for example, Kevin Rose surrendered to a mob of Digg users who were upset that Digg was blocking stories publishing the decryption key for HD DVDs." Interesting for me, as that was the point where I left digg for greener pastures. My account on reddit iterated up to being 3 years old a couple of weeks ago -- wiki says the HD DVD thing happened May 1, 2007. Makes sense.
