Not think that’s a good idea.
It’s like a paywall. You have to pay before you can check the quality.
It’s not really the open source spirit we all love.
v4v is a better concept.

I can think of 2 mutually exclusive reasons this might not be true:
1) it would be for trivial amounts so it would obviously just be fun and very much in the open source spirit.
2) it wouldn’t be trivial, but you’d see the interaction stats with people you’d have to assume had already decrypted it so there is a bit of a quality signal there, albeit shrouded in intrigue.
All valid arguments, but for me it still feels like a paywall.
It’s a great Idea for news services, but I’m not sure if this is really a good use case for nostr.
Maybe I’m wrong and it feels great when it is implemented. Let’s see
Not to go all "slippery slope" but we already have paid relays and those have their benefits and (ideally) contribute to people who deserve compensation for their efforts.
I don't really see why this should be treated any differently, maybe with the ability for clients to opt in or not receive these types of notes for those users not interested
Yeah, but when you pay a relay you know what you get.
The Idea to me sounds like a paywall or a lootbox. You have to pay first to see what you get.
But hey, maybe I‘m wrong and it feels much better when it’s implemented than it sounds to me at the moment.
It’s just my opinion at the moment
