I believe this would actually fix the problem and it's why I'm not too worried about it.
My understanding is that part of the outlandishly large return is that it's very important to be first. If many more people were attempting this strategy, they would eat into each other's winnings and all would be lower in rewards ranking. It also makes a big difference coming in as the top zapper vs the 2nd or 3rd, so more people trying this would rapidly make it less fruitful.
We saw this with a certain vampire character a few months ago and that fizzled out.
It was an exaggeration. But in that case you are right if everyone was doing it it wouldn’t work. My broader point was if everyone was trying to optimize for sats rewards in the most efficient way it wouldn’t make for a very great SN experience

No, I've tried it. It didn't work for me.

I agree with that.
What I would say is that since this strategy doesn't scale, it isn't a big problem. At most, one person can make significant rewards this way, while everyone else gets rewarded for normal good behavior.
I'd argue that it's acceptable for the rewards system to have this minor vulnerability, if it works like we'd want it to otherwise.

What if the next malfeasor never posts or comments?

We'd still see them on the leaderboard.
I think I'm just missing something, because I wouldn't expect downzapping to work the way it seems to be.
Downzapping top posts he zapped :) easy

You solved it!

Finally downzapping worked today!
I've been downzapping him for 3 days.
But, I still don't view it to be the result of downzapping. It's may be because he's just disappeared for some time now. No superfast zapping on Some big post.
