Yeah, I think it's definitely variable! But I think that is kind of true either way? Like, if you aren't comfortable committing to 10k (or whatever the max is), you might get snipped in either system. The upside of having a writer cap is that, based on this experience, a lot of people seriously over-committed, which could have been somewhat mitigated by a writer cap -- and won't be mitigated if people can still bid the max on as many different assignments as they want. But you're right that a lower per-assignment bid could be more effective at achieving the same goal!
(If there were a writer cap, I would think it should only be for the first round. Then people who have finished their commitment could take on PHs and such.)
