I feel like a lot of this comes down to the old issue of getting enough GMs/STs to support your players. You can try to mitigate some of this with encouraging player GMs and automating some stuff, but STs are always going to be the attraction to a story game, and demanding they do 100 things in 1 day is neither fair nor reasonable.
Yes and no. It certainly helps, but keep in mind we're talking about recognition and a spotlight, and not the ability to entertain people. Like you take gigantic sandboxes with a few hundred people that feel like it's actually 80 games of 4 people each that all happen to share the same grid. And the reason is that there's no person over PRP runners grabbing someone and making the entire game aware of them, and forcing recognition upon them.
What people care about is that it feels special and exceptional, more often than not. And the more it happens, the less a lot of them care about it. So say like we added 30 staffers, and gemits were a flood. People would no longer care about that, but then anytime I did a special vox hit or something, that people would go apeshit over.
