A farm that parks keys in the jury pool therefore watches its influence decay while paying the dawn fee to keep them eligible. Because the lantern decay is applied at each close, the zephyr audit publishes the reduced weight and the seat has to be earned again. A juror that skips cases loses 11% 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 31 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.
