I think as long as the party receiving the DMs has it as an option it is fine.

i'd prefer the following if it was being done just for me....

1. Unknown parties must pay me 100 sats to DM me

2. Once I follow you back you pay me nothing to DM me

If it is to "prevent spam" vs. a way to be enriched as an influencer at the expense of followers, let's treat it like that.

Pay to comment would sweet. Same thing - strangers only.

On Twitter, you can set the parameters for who is allowed to comment. Can the same thing not be implemented here?

I’m wondering if we need a consent nip. Where you can set what you’d like other apps to do / display with your content. Obviously there is no way to enforce it but it would set good defaults and norms.

So almost like a robots.txt where you can delegate certain access, but ultimately it's up to the client/relay to honour it.

Good idea! Could he neat to have a zap “escrow” — an unknown person puts up 100 zaps to send a DM. If it’s spam, I block and keep the 100 sats. If it’s legit, I reply and the 100 sats are returned to the sender.

Good expansion. Up to account holder to decide.
