I gave up on digg long ago, when it started to transmute from the tech oriented news aggregator to the all-round sensationalism-driven news outlet. It had a primarily geek audience at first, but when it's popularity soared, and with the new direction and the influx of the non-geek visitors, why wonder that the Linux stories consistently get buried?

Overlooked premise

Yes, this is a much simpler explanation and which Vaughan-Nichols fails to acknowledge: maybe some people are just fed up of Linux-related news and want to see something different.
