Guys, do you find it annoying when you bet $0.20 and 'win' an amount much less than that?

Or when we buy a super bonus and get under x10... and that happens more often than you think.
Would you prefer if there were no such small 'wins' and only 2x+ payouts instead? Sure, those would appear less often, but at least you wouldn't feel frustrated about it.
What do you guys think? If slot creators made a slot like that, do you think it could become popular?
I already wrote about LDWs:
Do losses disguised as wins create a “sweet spot” for win overestimates in multiline slots play?
You can read more about it here, or on other sites:

I am not sure if that would be more popular, but for sure it would be "less interesting"... We play slots for visual as well as auditory stimulation... nobody likes to win less than what they invested, but that's where LDW comes in, subconsciously we like to hear that sound of victory, it's much nicer than a dead spin. So after 5-10 dead spins (or more), it's nice to hear some "winning bells".
It's psychology, slots are designed to be the way they are. Even though we know that the odds are against us and that slots are very risky, we like to play them. Those who want/prefer to play only x2 (or higher) payouts can play Limbo (or any other game where we can choose a multiplier). Wins will appear more often and we will still be frustrated if we are on "the losing side".
