I just refreshed both the Primary and Classic front pages and did a quick comparison.
Classic had 14 articles that were not on Primary. The first unique article for Classic showed up at #15. All of the unique articles for Classic were at least 11 hours old, with 5 of them being at least 1 day old.
Primary also had 14 articles that were not on Classic (obviously). The first unique article for Primary showed up at #4. All of the unique articles for Primary were at most 12 hours old, with 4 of them being at most 1 hour old.
This page may have originally been created to investigate a difference in "quality" between older and newer HN users, but it actually does a great job of highlighting the opposite to me. The Classic page is mostly the same as Primary, just slower. Older HN users seem to generally like the same things as everyone else here. I'm sure most of the pre-2009 users who don't like modern HN have moved on.

Probably most HN users (both older and younger) mainly vote for stuff already visible on the Primary page. A hypothesis from a parallel thread, not mine. What follows, the users mostly vote as led by the "trend setters", by whom I mean those who frequent /newest subpage.
