is it normal that Newskies is flooded with thirst, scam and troll account first-posts?

I've been on Bsky for 8 months but only recently discovered the "Newskies" feed (basically - first posts, newest first). It seems very heavily weighted toward samey thirst-magnet pitches, with distinct smatterings of sketchy asks for money, and right-wing troll ragebait. I get that some amounts of all that are unavoidable on that social media format, but I'm curious if anyone who's followed Newskies for a while can say if there's been a surge in the past, say, month or so?
