I can see authors hesitant to post longer pieces, knowing that their readers, (once decided the piece deserves some love), might be rushing through the rest in order to upvote early.
Shorter posts may be an unintended consequence.

I don't think someone's liking to avoid voting on a post just because it's long. But I suppose it could result in authors breaking up such posts into multiple posts to maximize rewards. I've done that once or twice myself, just because I didn't want to spend but so much time writing one post and wrote up the remainder later as "part 2".
