If the submissions with the fewest votes were forced to get more views, maybe that would help cut down the glut of threads/replies. For instance, I submitted something on Tuesday I think, and it’s gotten a total of 4 votes. Not that I think that particular submission was amazing and deserves to get more upvotes, but if it were seen more, there would be a better chance that more people would downvote it off and the clutter would decrease. Or it would get more votes and become more competitive with the others.
