Digg still crushes reddit in traffic. I'm not saying traffic is an indicator of profitablity, but it's apparent they are either marketing it better, or more people prefer it. Either way, it's tough to argue "with the people" based on the

I have a couple of concerns with this article, however, I do generally agree with most of the author's thoughts. 1. Title is deceptive, it should have been labeled 'Deceptive Pricing Scam' or 'A need for better product reviews' and not 'E-
