It's probably a side effect of the quantity of submissions going up. I've noticed that the last few submissions I made scrolled off the "new" page inside of 20 minutes. One of those articles made it to 100+ points on programming.reddit (and onto the front page), so it wouldn't be surprising to learn that a lot of good stuff is simply falling through the cracks. Surprisingly, programming.reddit.com's "new" page is about 4-6 hours "tall" most of the time. HN has evidently become the new hot place to dump linkbait tech articles.
