Yeah but you always gotta think about the activities of those wanting to maximize and what they'd do. We tried at one point, can't remember what exactly the ruleset was, but if an account received the same vote too often it would grant diminishing returns (25% less value, followed by 50%, 75%, etc) and that mostly resulted in maximizers just create more accounts and voting on them there.

Times are different now of course so there may be some value behind this idea but it would require running some simulations of how it could potentially be abused and if it would cause any harm to authors.
