Don't forget that the content you find on HN has to come from somewhere. How do articles get here? 1) Either the content author posts it, or someone who follows the blog/website/whatever posts it. 2) Those who spend time reading /newest actually upvote posts enough to get them to the front page. If you enjoy the front page of HN, that's great! But the process of getting there isn't exactly automatic -- it depends on those who dig through unfiltered content.
