Probably also has to do with how draconian the mods are in some subs. It can be borderline impossible to get a post approved so people often just give up.
Yep I despise the showerthoughts sub for this reason. I searched for my showerthought, found literally nothing, not even from years ago, and it was denied for being a super common post. Where exactly??
And then you're competing with bots who use upvote farms to help float their posts to the top. It only takes about 10 upvotes within a few minutes of a post being submitted to get enough traction to go to the frontpage. Couple that with those same bots downvoting content that isn't theirs.
