According to the official description, the way applauses are used to put relevant/popular content in front of other people is a little bit more resistant to fraud than that—but I really mean “a little”. Your applauses are taken into consideration in a way that is relative to how many applauses you give on average. That is, of course, still trivial to game: 1x applaud some random posts, and then 50x applaud the posts you want to promote — rinse and repeat.
