Because of an algorithm based on how old posts are and how many votes they have gotten. Algorithms can't determine drama levels.

Why aren't holes excluded or weighed differently? I'm not a codecel so I won't understand anyway. There is almost never drama in any hole posts

People have brought up nerfing holeposts for the front page feed. The real chellenge lies in that not all holes are created equal, because some still focus on drama, others not at all.
You'd almost have to tailor the algorithm to each hole specifically.
The advantage any user has is to block individual holes so the don't see them on the front page.
Go to each hole in your screenshot and block them.

My rule is, if something is dramatic enough I don't post it in a hole. I only use holes for stuff that's not dramatic so maybe some users aren't interested in it.

If your post in /corn goes straight to the front page anyway it doesn't matter where you post it

While that may be true I think the hole system is flawed and currently prioritizes undramatic shitposting over actual drama.

Your post
is ignorant and clearly demonstrates that you have no idea how reddit 
works. If you did, you would know 
that /corn is one of the most active subreddits and that posts here very rarely make 
it to the front page. So please, do us all a favor and stop posting your ignorant comments here.

I know I can block them, the problem is they crowd the most visible part of the website with no drama and push drama posts out of signt

Wrong check out the autodrama bot.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Autodrama bot scans massive walls of an entire reddit thread after several hours (24?) of activity for lolcows, and assigns scores to the overall post based on the comments.
If you wanted something similar to autodrama to rank rdrama posts, it would have to wait until the post was old and had a ton of comments.
Merely providing a link to drama won't get analyzed. An effortpost could get analyzed, but only the OP's wall of text would get counted initially, and the bot would have to iteratively re-rank it as more comments got added.
Probably would be a good idea for some sort of best-of collection tho.
