Apr 11, 2022 at 17:10 comment added Dylan Thurston Are you sure you can't tweak it? This situation with thin curves is also the place you see that the stretch metric is very asymmetric, and I believe also should show you that the symmetrized stretch metric is different from the standard Teichmüller metric. (Also, I think the $C^1$ hypothesis is harmless, you only need to drop it if you want actual extremizers.)
Apr 11, 2022 at 16:03 comment added Alex Nolte @DylanThurston It won't -- this is very much a construction of a bad representative of the isotopy class. One will need to drop the $C^1$ hypothesis to work with extremizers, but after doing so this becomes an interesting question of asymptotic comparison of Teichmuller's metric and W. Thurston's asymmetric metric.
