Is a "cause balanced" EAF front page possible?

I am keen to try to get a more "cause balanced" view of EA via the excellent EAF. Is my only option to reduce karma by 50% on AI posts? This is how I am currently set up, but it seems a bit of a from-the-hip measure. Maybe there is some way to get a more equal number of posts from each cause area consistently showing in my front page? Would love to hear from people who have successfully "recalibrated" their EAF feed:

You may be aware of this already, but you can set values other than 50% by using the "Other" field:
It's still a bit from-the-hip, but we don't have a way of specifically favouring variety unfortunately

Cause neutrality is about being open to donating to whichever cause seems like the most cost-effective after evaluating the evidence. It doesn't mean giving equal time to all possible causes regardless of the cost-effectiveness.

That is true and perhaps I could have chosen a better wording. This is also why I put "cause neutrality" in parentheses. I would welcome any suggestions for wording that might be less confusing. Apologies if I have caused confusion - I now changed it to "cause balanced" - hopefully that is better and less confusing.
