I also feel like the quality of the comments would improve significantly as well

One guy on my streams nostr:nprofile1qqsrtrqjwn2ryfgz5ue6jky9fexrjy08pl4xjvtrkwceuxhxyyfq5gsprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqfy70jg zaps 99 sats every time he has a comment

Imagine if this solved spam

Not a bug but maybe a feature

Absolutely a feature, interactions have to have some weight in order to express quality. Broadcasting data should cost as much as the energy and tools required for the relays to work, so I would add a cost to every interaction that leaves a footprint on nostr.

I would also add a premium to filter "low cost" interactions.

For examples, If I post something I can decide whether to see or not to see comments posted under a 5 sats commission in order to bypass bot or other low signal comments.

I would also have the possibility to broadcast to specific relays with higher costs if they assure high quality content and specific content.

I would also have the possibility to boost post in order to make them more visible, or to avoid relays to delete them if they need to clean space for new or different things.

Every note starts as a "low cost" interaction until people see it and decide whether to send a zap. Most notes are not zap worthy, although we sometimes send a zap to encourage the author to continue contributing. There can be useful information in a "low cost" interaction, it simply hasn't reached enough eyeballs to borrow an expression from the dotcom era.

A low cost interaction can have incredible value, that is correct.

Most notes are not zap worthy, that is also correct.

But it is also true that an interaction can have different weights in different conditions (or different markets). A word by Trump has bigger value then a mine, a note its the same. He can reach more eyeballs than me thanks to reputation and/or following. Are his words more useful than mine? Maybe, but what if they are not? He still have the power to continue to say unuseful things, I have not.

So how can I get more power? I change method or technology, I find another way to increase the reach of my words by channeling energy in a different way. That's way a premium in the costs of the interactions is a way to change the market where I'm playing at.

With a premium, I would be able to speak in the table of the "adults" even If I have no reputation or friends in that table. That is a very powerful thing.

Advertisers are "wasting" money every day to try to get my attention, the more they spend, the more probable is they get it. If they spend it wisely, and I buy their product, that's a win/win. It is the same concept.

I would like to have someone spend sats in order to comment my notes, in this way, they have something to lose, and if they do it, it means they really think their comment is worth the sats.
