I think if the app had max payout limit in the current state then it would not get used. Only if it was an SMT could that be a thing because people will just use normal hive and already post 100 character crap for $2 values. Needy baby greedy baby.
Without SMT or a way to properly control hive will remain the dumpsite it is and there is no reason to do the effort on niche things that touch on "governance" aka controlling payout
Microblogging takes much less effort then to write a full post. Because the effort is lower the max payout wouldnt really matter much.
With SMTs there wouldnt be any problem since the dapp would be separate from blogging etc.
thanks for helping me out in a dire time of need!
