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.

As others explained before the problem you see right now can be solved by navigating to new instead of hot tab, and furthermore there would be a lot more problems if all new content was pushed to the front.

 

F. ex. it helps prevent spam and non interesting submissions to show on front so it takes off some job to the community in order to filter so. It's way best a system that demands two different users to agree something new deserves to be on top than an automated one where everything published does.

There is definitely a balance to be found, but right now, putting year old stuff ahead of all new submissions seems to me to be skewed a bit.
