I don't know if any explanation is necessary other than "this is the case". I know my statistics are not that different from the average post. If the same article is submitted 20 times you might find it sometimes gets 0 votes and sometimes gets 115. I know some strategies that could get my average vote count much higher but if I did you would see 5 posts from me on the front page at once and I don't like the optics of that.
If you look at your profile and turn on "showdead" you will get some more insights. It is a classic mistake that people post articles from their blog and nothing but articles from their blog and everything they post winds up [dead].
It is fine to post articles from your blog so long as you also post articles from other sites but a lot of people never figure that out.
