Donations to the rewards pool also help maintain your headwear, so you don’t have to randomly zap something
Thank you, I didn't know :) However, I should have made clear in the OP that I'm not looking for optimal strategies to get rewards, it's just not worth the hassle, at all. I'm just sharing my view on why I think that the current scheme crosses the line between compensating good interactions towards forcing interactions, in contrast to what I understand it intends.
