# Paying for Submissions

2 August 2006 · Ray Slakinski

My 2 cents on Jason's (link removed) hiring [Digg](http://digg.com) submitters to work for [Netscape](http://netscape.com):

Social news is about voting on submissions and taking good submissions and making them more visible, if Jason hired people to vote on submissions that would be wrong but putting stuff into the pipe/tube isn't IMHO.
