I used to love the diggnation, sytm, and the broken episodes. But now I see they are turning it into a business and you have to pay for the episodes to see them when there fresh. Well, I thought that Kevin was more down to earth then that but I was wrong. Well here's another long time fan leaving the scene. Go make your money kevin, because 25 people I know have left your side. We thought you were real...shoulda known money changes a person.

People need to make a living, and money to live.

Stop being a baby.

You only have to pay to get Diggnation early. And there are ways to get it free. But if you want to be so overdramatic about the whole thing, I'm not going to act like I'll miss you being around here, so goodbye.

My point was, I'm not going to waste my time trying to talk him out of it. No one cares.

I don't pay, and I see them when they are fresh. I would pay if I had money.

kevin doesn't get his rent for free or his foodNot to mention that there are other people besides kevin involved and they get paychecks too. And I'd imagine cameras and editting and all that costs money too.


What a baby. Get Diggnation one of the other ways (Which isn't illegal or anything) or wait the two days.

Hey, idiot, they've mentioned that running this stuff costs something like $20k per month. Easily. Where is the money supposed to come from? Out of the goodness of their little hearts, are they supposed to go find white collar jobs to have the money to pay for it all, and still somehow have time to actually do Diggnation, so that you can see the new episodes a couple days early? ONLY if they charged to see them at all, such as you can't even see them a week later without paying, would you have a point. As it is, you are being an unrealistic little ass who clearly has no idea how expensive it is to live in California. I managed to get my rent down to $1,305 from $1,500, more than many people make in a month. And Kevin's smack in SF proper, an area even more expensive.

So tell me just how you expect DN to be done without charging for anything. Kevin's as real as his monthly rent payment. And yes, money changes a person. If you don't have it, you go from a person with a home to a homeless person.

Isn't this trolling?

This post really doesn't justify a proper response. Except to say, It just isn't realistic to expect people to not seek compensation for work. You say you enjoy Diggnation. Isn't that enjoyment worth something to you. If it's not worth paying for, I don't see the problem in waiting a few days to see it.

Maybe your Mom will spot you a few bucks a month for helping her with your laundry or cleaning your room.

I almost find it kind of funny, posts and threads seem so quick to be deleted around here, but this is still going strong two days later...

the guy was expressing an honest opinion that i'm sure a lot of, ignorant, people feel! so it's not quite trolling. he seemed devastated not bent on destruction of the forums. Anyway, it was a show of solidarity here, b/c we all know we love Kevin and if we were in his position, we might even exploit it MORE! I think Kevin's shown plenty of discretion and is a totally awesome guy. Digg is an AMAZING site.

plus, he wants to start carrying around coupons for free t-shirts!

Also, the rest of the shows are free. What're you complaining about?

Diggnation's release day is Tuesdays!!! If you are kind enough to donate, then you get the perk of downloading it on Saturday. Simple as that. Quite your god damn *****ing.
