I said this on the discord but I'll say it here: It's like 'cleaning' up a messy room by sweeping all of the dust into the next room over. You didn't get rid of the mess, you just moved it to a new spot.

If 60 people want to nominate 10 things, then no matter whether you do 1/2/3/4, 2/2/3/3, 3/3/2/2, 1/1/1/7 or 7/1/1/1, you're going to end up with 600 things in the playlist at the end of Day 4. But by making Day 1 a smaller number of noms, then what you ARE doing is increasing the number of noms that appear on Day 2-4 and consequently giving all of those songs 1 less day to be heard + making the crowd on those days bigger.

Likewise, from the "give some noms special attention so people listen to them" perspective. Yes, small Day 1 will make those songs shine more, but it's always a tradeoff. Less songs on Day 1 means more songs on Day 2+, which makes all of those shine LESS. Not only that, but you'll have less chances of impressing people. Are you willing to pin your hopes on just 2 of your picks, at the risk of them being 2 songs not many people want to support? Only to then screw over the 8 you didn't give special attention to more than in previous years?
