This is exactly what I have always thought, felt and done
And I always admire you (and a handful of other users) for that. I believe the pressure of maintaining a certain voting CSI caused users to give smaller votes but in a wider range (talking about private accounts). It started as a rule which has now become more of a habit.
Sometimes, I wonder if all the orcas (and all sizes of fish, for that matter) start giving votes fairly and a little more generously, then authors might not look up to 01 or 02 that much and instead focus on increasing their readership by focusing on quality and real engagement.
I definitely think you're right with your idea.
However, as I have been trying unsuccessfully for years to act as a role model in this respect, I believe that users will only realise this when 01 and 02 withdraw completely from the business... 🤷♀️

Nobody would/should want them to withdraw completely. Removing guaranteed votes for projects would make things slightly better, as already discussed under o1eh's post.
