You aren't wrong. But there are simply two different problems.

1) 1000+ difference songs is too many for most people to even attempt to work through. Many who attempt don't make it either.
2) Uneven visibility for showing up a day late or even 1 minutes late.

Changing how many nominations unlock does NOT address problem 1. Likely we still end up with 1000+ songs.

But, it does effect problem 2. If someone is 30 seconds late, their song is now 24th instead of 120th.

It does reduce the amount of time to listen to later songs in the queue, but as crazy as this sounds it doesn't matter.

Imagine we get 1000 songs like this:
Day 1: +1000
Day 2 onwards: +0 (total 1000)

Imagine someone listens to 100 songs a day:
End of day 1: 900 songs in the queue
End of day 2: 800 songs in the queue
End of day 3: 700 songs in the queue
End of day 4: 600 songs in the queue
End of day 5: 500 songs in the queue
End of day 6: 400 songs in the queue
End of day 7: 300 songs in the queue
End of day 8: 200 songs in the queue
End of day 9: 100 songs in the queue
End of day 10: Done!

Imagine we get the 1000 songs like this:
Day 1: +100
Day 2: +200 (total 300)
Day 3: +300 (total 600)
Day 4: +400 (total 1000)
Day 5 onwards: +0 (total 1000)

Imagine someone listens to 100 songs a day:
End of day 1: 0 songs in the queue
End of day 2: 100 songs in the queue
End of day 3: 300 songs in the queue
End of day 4: 600 songs in the queue
End of day 5: 500 songs in the queue
End of day 6: 400 songs in the queue
End of day 7: 300 songs in the queue
End of day 8: 200 songs in the queue
End of day 9: 100 songs in the queue
End of day 10: Done!

Despite seemingly less time, it takes 10 days either way to get through the entire queue. Extra time to listen to a song doesn't matter if all that time is spent in the queue. It only becomes an issue if the queue becomes empty (which can happen if the first day is limited to 1 nom so I suggested increasing it to 2).
