Ranking (and thus visibility) is dominated by the majority of accounts, so even if classic users submitted and voted on articles which reflected the early character of the site, they wouldn't get to see each much of each other's articles. Such a "classic" view can only work meaningfully (i.e. generating content that reflected the classic userbase) if classic users use it exclusively.
Any link to read up on this? Like what is "classic view", how exactly it's different from the main page, what are "classic users", what was the "early character of the site" like etc?
