Think it makes more sense to divide by n in order to easily grasp the impact. And to use a logarithmic scale for the x axis.
- green: lineair
- red: n^2
- blue: convergent linear as proposed (with some c)
- orange: alternative n x S^log(n) curve proposed here (by me)
I hope, whatever curve and whatever parameters are chosen, they will also shift dust level accordingly. Massive amounts of comments seem to be about to shift beneath dust level as things look now, and I'm afraid this will really hurt social interaction on the platform.
This is what things would look like with dust level cut-off added:
