If I understand it correctly 5 new votes at 100% are equal to 40 at 12.5%. So there is no change for bots, but two changes for human curators:
- the cognitive load if one wants to vote more often manually
- possibility to vote less while keeping the same influence ( ~ ability to supercharge your vote if viewed from the old perspective)
The question is, if there is no change for bots, are these 2 changes beneficial for human curators and for the system overall?
