Not digg'ing Digg

Is there anyone else out there who loathes digg.com as much as me? I've found that as time has gone on, the content on digg is getting not only worse, but more and more skewed from one political viewpoint or philosophy to another (and I really mean one or the other because it has gone both directions). I frankly don't care for a site that has Britney Spear's bare ass as a front page topic next to dogmatic political spew about 'pubs versus dems' or how we're scorching the environment. My admiration for the founders of digg (ahem, Kevin Rose, et al) is great, indeed, but their product has lost its edge as time has passed. Not only do the stories on digg get recycled ad nauseam, you never really know whether there is any validity to the content or not. I really have a hard time keeping digg around when my rss list is close to breaking the hundred feed barrier and yet one of the chosen ones is not only unreliable, but slightly boring.
