New is not the same as All/New. New just shows what you are subscribed to where All/New shows all threads no matter what you are subscribed to. Anyone not subscribed to a particular sub where a post is made will not see it in New. Obscure sub posts therefore do not get seen by some people and gain no traction. It's better to browse by All/New so you can see everything that you haven't blocked.
Oh I see. Well that's stupid because when people write in the website, it takes them to hot, not all.. and so when they click the new button it's not taking them to all/new.
The various view buttons serve different purposes. Since the front page is also composed of default and subscribed subs, it makes sense that Hot, New and Top would be subsets of the front page view. All/New is the one option to break out of the default/subscribed subs views so you can see everything. Voat and Reddit also worked this way so it's not a concept created by Poal and is seen as standard on forums like this.
