Ever since Digg launched profiles, the usefulness, quality, and reputation of Digg has been on the decline. What's moving up is SPAM. If you disagree with that statement, Google it - You'll find nearly a million links with a similar opinion.
After the profiles launch, Digg became littered with bosh (nonsense) and became a spam breeding ground. Take a look at the Digg sharing feature below. Note how incredibly easy it is to instantly send a shout (story message share) to all your friends. Its SPAM friendly features like this that are hurting Digg. Removing the "Shout to All" button would go a long way to restore Digg's quality.
Below is a perfect example how story sharing should be. The image below was taken from nobosh.com. Notice how the sharing feature has no one-click share to all your friends button. This UI decision has gone a long way to keep spam out of nobosh and leave nobosh with no nonsense, no bosh, nobosh community.

nobody ever diggs me anyway. :-(
LOL I don't care - the important thing is that future customers DO see my blogs and they DO write to me - worth a lot more than a shout from digg, if you ask me.
I do get a couple of "shouts" from friends who are on Digg too, but I rarely read them - they're usually about something I'm totally not interested in.
I don't get dugg much at all. That is mostly because I have a political blog that is not anti-American. This isn't a popular thing on digg.
Don't feel bad, my blog got banned for being spam and it has 800 and some odd original posts and 4 yr history.
