33% Traffic drop in last few days since they rolled out the new version..

"Instead of requiring carefully chosen words and images, submitting a story now only requires a link (similar to Facebook)."

I've heard about this too. As we can see is enough changing the look to lose traffic...

Ye is sucks but Digg is still worth it. Before I used to get 15.000-20.000 hits when A story hit DIGG's front page.
Now I only get about 10.000-15.000.

DIGG is still second to non when it comes to traffic though.

Ya, and is it not all about traffic? Eventually they will come right again.

Instead of checking digg 10x a day, I'm now at reddit

Submitting to Digg still has great SEO value.
And I too don't know what the hell were they thinking with this new layout, it's terrible.
