Is it just me?

Normally I don't think about this kind of stuff, but lately I've been questioning the amount of upvotes certain posts have been getting. It's not that they're low-effort or anything, but as someone who regularly browses both "New" and "Hot", I've gotten a feel for what kinds of posts generally tend to get upvoted and which ones don't. Lately, though, I feel like more that fall into the latter category have been making their way up. So, am I the only one feeling this way?
