So you think in this case it's fine that 9 month old content is above all new content? On reddit, the way it works is that new content appears not at the top, but maybe 3-4 places down (for less active subs, like /r/denmark). So at least people would notice the content, and be able to choose whether to up/downvote it. I think this is fine. New content shouldn't appear in #1 spot, but at least toward the top. However in this specific case, I think all new concent should appear above 9 month old content.

It's the Hot tab and it only requires one upvote from someone to "solve" the problem so I'm with you in this one!

And how many people use the new tab - ie actively clicking to change the ranking? I don't and never did. I assume the site pushes hot/relevant things to the top. That's the way it ought to work. I wouldn't want to come back after 9 months and view the same exact content as when I left. Again, of course this is not a problem for really active subs. But most subs on here are not active, not yet. And they will stay inactive if all content that a new, casual user is going to see, is really old stuff.
