In the iPhone app (at least) if a newly published story is not upvoted almost immediately (within a day) it will never be seen by anyone and therefore will never get any more upvotes. Likewise for a story that makes the ābest of the weekā list. The result is that most stories canāt be promoted to higher ābest of ā lists because almost nobody ever gets to see them, so they canāt be upvoted.
Suggestion: Have some way to be able to see and upvote randomly chosen stories from the full set of all stories ever submitted (not just the ātop tenā or whatever that is shown now). This would allow stories to gradually rise over time, which is almost impossible now unless a story gets a lot of upvotes almost immediately.
