I'm still on the fence about this. Yeah it's suppose to take away from over valued post, by lowering the amount distributed and cause of inflation, but at the same time, this are all potential reward votes, that instead of being burned, could go to minnows, but now they get even less as well.
If people actually took the time to go through content and up vote it, get of trending, etc., instead of just lazy upvoteing post like this, and other trending complaining post IE: walk the walk, not just talk the talk, these issues wouldn't even be present.
I gave up on that. Look at the amount of comments and compare it with the views and the upvotes. Too many people gaming the system.
