I read the "New" feed to read and upvote interesting posts or posts which could lead to interesting discussions if more people saw them. There's always something good there, even if signal to noise ratio is low.
Every time I have to use the "vouch" feature to save posts on new, because some psychotic users here or perhaps a psychotic auto-moderator, insists on marking perfectly good submissions as [flagged] or [dead].
More people should check out the "New" tab.
The main reason things end up is dead is because the system automatically does that for anyone who posts links to one website over and over again and doesn't post links to other websites. If you post a lot of links from various sites so there's no problem promoting your own blog. What I do is probably a bit of excessive for that purpose.
