Why is the 2023 /lit/ top 100 seems shit compared to recent years? There's a bunch of basic stories that are way higher than they've been before. Was it just less voters than ever? (Chart in thread)

If i remember correctly, for the 2023 top 100 there was a lot of spam from over enthusiastic /sffg/ posters and a some disinterest from /lit/ regulars.
The user base seems to be declining in general and as a result the most vocal groups overtake conversation topics.

Was I in a coma or did we just jump forward to 2024? The 2023 list hasn't been made yet because the year isn't over.
