Maybe some overload caused by a process having to dig deeper to find best/top posts?

apparently that's exactly the case.

That is an interesting aspect no engineer could have foreseen!

You'd be surprised how much critical infrastructure was implemented through trial and error and has just been left like that for years...

Anything less than 99% of infrastructure working that way would be surprising. Everything is held together with scotch tape and scotch whisky.

I like this idea. I imagine that with the top subs being dark the automated top posts that get scrounged up may be too terrifying for the front page and they hit the panic button while they scramble to curate through the absolute worst filth they've ever seen.
