Maybe not, but right now we have a freerider problem with respect to downzaps, because there's no direct incentive to do it.

The incentive is curating our experience. If we allow direct sat incentives for downzapping, that seems like something that can get ugly fast.

Right but it seems like muting is the most cost effective way of curating our personal experience.
Whereas downzapping curates EVERYONE's experience.

It's important to get the incentives right, but this has been broadly and deeply studied by economists.
We know that communities under provision policing if individuals bear the entire cost of that policing. The incentive to free-ride is too high.
In the mean time, though, I'll start downzapping more often.
