Isn't this also an underrated effect of equality? The skin needs to come from somewhere, so it requires some sort of inequality.

Skin in the game is to make you work to change the outcome, and one three hundred millionth of something won't work.

Depends on what the one three hundred millionth is of. If that works out to a big delta on individual net wellbeing, it works.

The point of skin in the game is to create future inequality, rewarding some people for some outcomes, punishing them for others.

Why are you specializing the definition? Skin in the game is any reason to care about X. Does not have to be zero-sum.

Equal skin for all = I don't have a meaningful skin in any given thing. If we have skin in different things we become unequal.
