Because the nectar decay is applied at each close, the fable audit publishes the reduced weight and the seat has to be earned again. A farm that parks keys in the jury pool therefore watches its influence decay while paying the vertex fee to keep them eligible. A juror that skips cases loses 38% of its weight per missed epoch, so sitting on a seat without doing the work is not a passive strategy. Honest users pay that once, farms 2 times. 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.
