Should you gain more elo on a win streak?

I think that when you are on a win streak you should gain more elo each win. I don't think it would be too invasive. I think it could help players with low elo who are playing above their rating (I recall being stuck below 800 elo while playing many games like a 1300). I would like to know your opinions on whether this seems like a good idea. Thank you

It would destroy the rating system. This glicko rating system has been worked by a serious mathematician. It's not just some random thing to be changed at will.

And by the way, playing as 1300 as 800 rated? I have multiple games where it says I am playing beyond 2 000 level. I had a game where the opponent lost in below 15 moves, made 2 or 3 blunders and chess.com said he played like 1 200 rated player, which is laughable.

Don' t take those estimations too seriously, it is good fun and all, but rating estimation is at best a good diverson, and far from a serious tool.
