I see.

It's similar to your other suggestions. Keep in mind that the effect we're looking for is to just deter very small votes that are trying to escape the notice of potential downvotes. We're not really trying to make it more profitable for larger stakeholders generally, even if it's just slightly.

So the idea is that because it's pretty hard to hunt down thousands of 5c posts. We're just going to make posts at the low end somewhat less profitable to the point where you might as well just curate. We're not really looking to confer a bonus to big accounts for reasons beyond this.

Also the rewards curve has an effect on a per post basis, not per account. So it doesn't serve to have people combine all their sockpuppets into a single account for an advantage, if that's what you were implying.
