Wow, I did not expect clickbait to make its way to the number 1 spot on HN. I would be curious to see if this was due to some someone gaming the algorithm or people carelessly upvoting the headline. Though it is a bit funny that the platform that clickbait is most prevalent on is part of the topic of discussion. Youtube subscribers in this case = Grandkids in the title.

Old users have not upvoted this, I recommend sticking to Hacker News Classic: https://news.ycombinator.com/classic

Thanks for that hidden feature. And there's no ads aswell! Do you know what is the difference in the algorithm? They just count "old users" votes? How long do you need to have an account for to be considered old?

It's the same algorithm as the regular front page, with the difference that the votes are those by users before Feb 13, 2008. A long time ago! It wasn't such a distant past when pg created it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=607271.
