I'm more concerned about the flip side of engagement farming, which is disingenuous zapping.
How do you mean?

The rewards incentivize zapping content that you expect others to zap, rather than zapping content because you like it.

Ohhhh, I didn't know it worked like that. I just put the calculation of daily rewards down to some mysterious algorithm that I'd never truly understand, and that as fine with me.
So, as it stands, if you zap a post soon after it's posted, and then it goes on to gain traction with other zaps, this gives you a greater share of the daily rewards? I can see if you were to reply to such a post with something inciteful then that reply is likely to be seen more and therefore probably gain more zaps, but I think that's just natural.
I think most people just use it honestly, that is, gaming the system is too much like hard work and the simplest thing is just to engage with what catches your eye and zap what you like.

Eventually, behavior conforms to incentives.

A profound truth.
