View submission: [Proposal] Dynamic Karma Cap

I appreciate the effort, sincerely, but *why* does the karma cap need to fluctuate with the sub's activity? Does it matter if the cap is 15k on a slow month vs a busy month?

This feels like yet another change that, once again, further complicates distributions. It makes the entire process very mercurial.

I just am not convinced we need to make any of this even more complex and less newbie-friendly, especially to resolve a problem that isn't necessarily even a problem.

I dont think it makes it less newbie friendly. Quite the opposite in fact as those lower down the list would benefit from a higher ratio.

I definitely could be blinded by the numbers, but if the subreddit dips back to levels we saw in rounds 1-6 then the cap is useless anyway, so we might as well change it to something that will change with it.

I just don't like the fixed amount and I fucking love spreadsheets.
