The ultimate exploit is to create fake "likes". Once any system of likes becomes successful, it gets used for (a) filtering news feeds, and (b) establishing consensus & social truth. This is the biggest exploit there is.

A cheap system for "likes", such as this, is only safe when few people use it. Once it becomes popular, and worth something, it gets exploited, and then utterly fails.
