It seems likely to me that this is just because "old timers" are seeing the same data as newbies. How many folks look beyond the first hundred posts, or even the front page for stuff to vote up? It makes sense that accounts older than a year will just slightly reshuffle the top 20 posts or so.

EDIT: It would be interesting to see this comparison in an alternate reality where we could downvote articles. I would bet that you would see more variation between newer and older accounts.

It would be interesting if all of the "new" stuff was scoped to showing "new" stuff submitted by other people who have accounts approximately as old as your own (maybe within a month?).

This would limit "new" items to your hacker news "start class", which may make the content more relevant.
