Goodhart’s Law makes a single good metric impossible.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law
“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
The only solution is so many different measures (ie different one for each user) that it’s unfeasible for spammers to target every one.
