Companies Bowing Down To Digg Royalty?

It is well known in the Digg community that there are the certain ‘allstars’ who can get stories to the homepage.
One of them has supposedly come out in an interview saying he has been profiting from companies who need his Digg help.
34% of the time, this anonymous person can get your web site or story on the homepage..
He charges anywhere from $700 for base promotion and an extra $500 if your story hits the homepage of Digg.
Getting on the homepage generates a minimum average of 20,000 hits.

Does the power of the Digg’s community to do things like this scare off potential buyers of Digg?
