I’m curious: how is it that this submission has not “reused” the submission I made eight hours before? In my experience, sending a link that is already there simply upvotes the existing submission.

After a certain amount of time, the same link can be posted by a different user. I'm not sure if there is a point or point vs time qualification on that. You can post old, popular stories again for example. Your submission was made 11 hours ago. If they merely applied an upvote to that existing story after 10 hours, the point time value rot would be such that it would have greatly reduced impact at ranking the story to the front page (ie it would be nearly useless for discovery purposes).
