Throwing another hat in the ring of the many suggestions for changing blue stake.
My idea for the Hurtful Sticker is that it acts as a reverse polychrome, multiplying your mult by some number less than one, for instance 75%, therefore decreasing your score.
As it currently stands, there are two stickers that can occupy the higher sticker slot (perishable or eternal) and one that can occupy the lower slot (rental) and I think that the Hurtful sticker should not be compatible with rental, as I think it would be too much of a drawback and remove interesting decisions from the game.
I think that the Hurtful sticker would make the choice of taking early game econ jokers more interesting, since they now come with a heavy drawback, and it also could make scaling + mult jokers worse. Imo this could add an interesting decision, similar to the current rental sticker, of whether or not a joker is worth picking up, since it may not be good enough in the long run, or may hurt you in the short term. It could be easily avoided by placing the joker before any + mult effects, but I dont think this would eliminate the downside, since + mult jokers, x mult jokers, and planet levels would still be effected.
I think it could also act as a strategic advantage to sometimes decrease your score intentionally to scale jokers more in a round. (similar to how you can move an x mult joker to the left to reduce scoring)
I know this idea probably isn't super original, and I hope it hasn't been suggested before too many times. The exact percentage debuff and functionality of the sticker would probably need a lot of tweaking, but I think it could add an interesting layer of depth to the game.

i don't hate it
tl;dr for all of the illiterate folks out there (myself included): sticker that multiplies mult by a number less than 1 (probably 0.75x)
