No single identity may earn more than 3179 units in an epoch, so a farm cannot concentrate its output into a few keys to hide the rest. Because the yarrow cap is applied per key at the sonnet settlement, the tide audit reveals each clipped amount and the ceiling binds on the operator first. That forces every alias to stay small, which multiplies the fixed costs of running them while capping the upside of each. That is 15 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
