 Seems nostr is ahead in some areas, but behind in others.  Recap of the purposes of trust and reputation systems:

1. Identify and increase good behaviour
2. Identify and reduce bad behaviour
3. Provide a metric

Zaps are a good start for (1), but turns out without 2&3 networks normally degrade.  aka tragedy of the commons. 
 It’s been interesting comparing Nostr with the Hive blockchain that does support Lightning via its v4v.app. Over there they have a reputation system which tracks the good and bad users, penalises them by reducing what they can earn. There are many differences too but it’s fun using both platforms in slightly different ways. Both support the v4v philosophy. 
 Fehr and Gachter did some research saying that community start out very cooperative when incentives are added.  But it degrades over time unless there are reverse incentives or punishments due to the free rider effect taking over. 
 There's also a theory that this forms the roots of some human behaviours such as gossip and some aspects of religion, but that's a more complex topic. 
 It’s interesting to gauge these different behaviours and Hive has had similar issues with down voters. 
 Fehr and Gachter argue that a down vote is not enough.  There has to be a cost to identifying a bad actor.  ie skin in the game. 
 I concur with your observations. Enjoy the honeymoon period when everybody is on board and psyched for the change. Humans are such butterflies though! And then they turn lazy and resentful and try to find shortcuts. Like kids who never grow up. Then we have to have big blow ups to reset, or blow up and start all over again. 

Also throw the 80/20 rule into the mix, that is a big factor. The 20 are the consistent ones all he way through, but they cant hold back the 80 when it gets to the latter stages. 

Money is definitely a good rod. Seen good 'uns who lost their way  learn the hard way when their income is stymied as a result of getting caught out or deciding they know better and tried things their way. 

Need to have some sort of way to let the errants back in, on good behaviour.
