As a long-time reader of the front pager of Hacker News, I rarely scroll down to a subsequent page or visit the new tab. The exception is when I want to help promote the product/post of one of my friends. :)
Are there any stats on the group of people who visit and upvote posts in the new tab on a regular basis? Is there a core group of "power-users" curating what we all read? How large is this group?
