If we make it through the maze we get the cheese. They're toying with your brain chemistry.
Yeah, but I want the cheese.

No more incentive to zap quality content.
That's how you get the cheese, though. It would only work if you cartelized, but cartels always fail.

How exactly do downzaps factor into all this?

There's some fun game theory to think through here. Downzapping will get expensive and the leader has more incentive to downzap whoever's behind him.
I think we're going to learn just how incentive compatible @k00b's rules are.
Btw, does the downzapper's downzap count towards their rewards as though it were a zap?

I think so. You don't even have to go as extreme as downzapping to see potential problems. Let's say you're close to winning the million sats. The guy in front of you just posts. In your heart, it's a great post. Ordinarily maybe you'd zap him a 1000 sats. But here, it might cost you a million to honestly reward his content. Or, same situation, and you're on the bubble. #65. You've been posting and zapping all month. Do you zap that guy the way you should and lose all those sats? I see the mal incentives being far worse because of the extremes. You could get a million sats or lose a month's worth of rewards.
So many options and paths… mmmm … 🧀

I hadn't thought of that, and it could be used to play dirty. I'll just keep doing what I was doing. Zapping and posting good content.
Oh boy you’ve really covered all the angles here! Good luck!
