How Does the Concept of ‘Variable Difficulty’ Shares Benefit the Pool Operator?

Variable difficulty allows the pool operator to manage the load on the pool server by tailoring the share difficulty to each miner's hash rate. This prevents server overload from small miners submitting too many shares and ensures that large miners submit shares that are substantial enough to be meaningful, maximizing the pool's overall efficiency and stability.
