I sort of agree with you. The demand and supply for askers and answerers is imbalanced: questioners: 24035 answerers: 10888 It's not that we are running out of people who have questions. The reward system needs to reflect this imbalance. Also, I'm afraid there will be increase in questions and corresponding increase in lack of answers demotivating people who genuinly wants to ask without regards to reputation. To curb race to first asker, SO should implement exponentially discounting reward. This makes final commulative reward finite.
