I think it's a better approach to get play money playing for real bucks by making it possible to earn decent ev in a high liquidity environment across different gametypes. This requires a reasonably beatable rake structure (not as in "Beat the Clock" where winning regs from other game types failed to beat micro stakes rake over a decent sample, so it's a pure raketrap), regs for the liquidity and an attractive [non-randomized, but planning reliability!] reward system to keep them in. The word can potentially be spread way more effective than ever before with methods like Twitch, Youtube videos, Poker boards, stable offerings and the tons of free study material out there. (This is pretty much what the Scheinbergs were trying to do with mucho success, but they had long term horizon which a publicly traded company is somehow likely has not. It also requires investing into stability and security of servers and support. I can only anecdotally describe support: Under the old owners, I received answers within minutes, making fair proposals to satisfy the player and keep it going. Now they take days to answer and the main part of their answers is copy/paste pre-constructed company-bull****-talk sentences)
It also suits the competitive factor of poker, no one prevents anyone else from becoming a reg and investing part/full time hours into poker, making decent money with sth he considers fun. Encouraging this is great longterm for the player pool just imho.
Simultaneously limiting #tables (and/or reducing their timebanks) on micro/lowstakes to prevent ppl from low wage countries to earn an income by 25tabling micros and ruining the experience for recs with long waiting times and very nitty play is a nice idea as well imo. Sorry to my eastern euro friends
Limiting #tables on mid/highstakes will just **** liquidity and rake/time for amaya tho and it wouldn't help the matter cause very few ppl start out at say 30$+ SnG games.
