Sometimes articles just don't get traction and then they're invited to resubmit (by dang, the moderator). Since the submitter submitted it twice, that was probably what happened here.

As to why it's "more popular", I guess you mean is getting more upvotes, that's part of the trick with submissions. Post it on a slow Friday work day before a holiday and you'll get more clicks than some other days or times.
