No no! There is a lot of great content that just streams past in /newest

As I make this post the newest submission is 0 minutes old and the oldest on that page is 27 minutes old.

When you make a post you have something like 1 hour window to attract upvotes.

Also, there are some submissions that attract upvotes that probably shouldn't - they're flaimbaity or not deeply interesting.
