A lot of posts. The overwhelming reason is simple neglect. We've been working on this problem for a while. If you're curious about what we're doing, see the links at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9333611 and in my reply. They're a bit out of date now, but the intentions remain the same.

Right, neglect is an issue, since most people don't check the new page and links quickly fall off it.

I wonder if there might also be a more nefarious problem where say YC alumni down-vote competitors?
