Maybe the solution is to weight upvotes by the number of upvotes cast that month in the "subreddit"

If there are 100K upvotes per month in some small city sub, and 100B in the videos sub, getting 1K upvotes in the city sub would would be the equivalent of 1B in the videos sub (in terms of your distribution)

This would encourage people to participate in smaller communities, which could be really nice for keeping the "small town" vibe of early reddit.

That's an interesting idea. It would need some kind of tweaking for low values otherwise it would be exploitable to generate as much revenue from a 10 people sub then from a bigger one.

Couldn't it also cause a fragmentation of content across different same-ish subs ?
