The densest subgraph of a large graph usually refers to some subgraph with the highest average degree, which has been extended to the family of $p$-means dense subgraph objectives by~\citet{veldt2021generalized}. The $p$-mean densest subgraph problem seeks a subgraph with the highest average $p$-th-power degree, whereas the standard densest subgraph problem seeks a subgraph with a simple highest average degree. It was shown that the standard peeling algorithm can perform arbitrarily poorly on generalized objective when $p>1$ but uncertain when $0
