I agree and we would just see mass voting cirlces and also people with multiple accounts trying to take advantage that way.

That sounds lke a great idea - seeing the payout values does affect our voting patterns its just basic human psychology. Once I follow people for a while and know they write good content I tend to not notice the payouts so much... I sometimes find myself not upvoting content with big payouts and prefer to spread my votes around those who have written good content but are less recognised
