/new here is woefully broken. Front page material is either all fad and hype or clown-sourced friend upvotes (except these days, it's not manipulation—it's "hustling"). I've started posting things to /new once or twice a week, but I don't have a cabal of friends to manipulate the system in my favor. My unworthy posts just die. (It's possible I have entirely crap content too. Need more datapoints to reach a stable conclusion.) Better solution: write more, whine less, throw in tangentially-related fad-titled clickbait every so often to actually get someone to read your words.
