Okay but historically, limiting votes does not end well.

So maybe implement ranked choice voting instead? j/k as far as this proposed solution but I hope you see what I mean here in terms of the underlying issue: democracy itself offers both problems and solutions to those who use it, hence why it is failing all across the globe.

Also, at least up until now, people have been offered a full CHOICE as to how much votes affect them, personally. Sorting by New ignores votes entirely, while sorting by Top used to consider all votes, but now will consider only some of them (if half are being discarded, some by the vote quota itself and others by people changing their behavior as a result of needing to constrain their votes, or at least hearing the signal loud and clear that lots and lots of votes are undesirable, hence they stop offering them). I haven't thought about how this impacts users of Scaled sorting, which I myself never use, personally speaking.

This doesn't track. On one side you say this will directly affect incredibly small number of people but this incredibly small number of people also flood posts with their one vote? Wouldn't that be incredibly small number of votes per post?
