I don't always like looking at "/newest" also for the reason it can take time to sift through to find the good ones.

What if there was a "/random" or "/custom". First would maybe weigh "newness" into the formula, but "/custom" could be based on user preferences. Might take a min to find right mix of "settings / allowable combinations" that would allow the site to remain performant. That way you all would be able to monitor trends in how users set up their preferences.
