I’ve proposed using randomization of the rewards parameters to make it less predictable: basically, rewards will still be based on making and zapping good content, but in an unpredictable way.

Yeah I liked your post. Everything that is algorithmic will be gamed and the more complex you make it, the less people will benefit from it. If you want rewards to be so random that it is unpredictable, the function to do that is 

 - a lottery. But why would you have a lottery on the "Frontpage of Bitcoin"? Can do that elsewhere.

I realize that I'm pretty grumpy about this, but that's also because I see a lot of advocacy to centrally keep tuning the dials, which to me, is rather antithetical to bitcoin.

How about a new filter for downzaped posts?

If you want rewards to be so random that it is unpredictable, the function to do that is `random()` - a lottery. But why would you have a lottery on the "Frontpage of Bitcoin"?
