lol.
Rich people blast their voice whether it’s valuable or not.
Poor people? Stfu.
Discussion
That's one way of looking at it lol
See like on the client I’m describing you would have had to pay to broadcast this awful take lol
Pay me to interact with bad takes on my posts. I like the concept.
Put another way— you wouldn’t likely see the bad take.
Go elsewhere for bad takes— or pay your bad take into play.
V4V pay to no gun to your head play.
Yes and also if the bots want to play they have to pay
The BotBastards pay triple lol.
Noise/junk will cost.
It is like old phone call when you had to pay a cost at each call.
It could just avoid people to speak too. Would you pay just to post a meme?
And only have advertising media where profitable product can pay to speak.
Like viagra did with email.
Lmao, maybe you would have thought twice before posting such a useless idea.
Way to describe news papers circa 1890.
Yes that’s the point. It’s a reintroduction of the idea that the space you see in front of you should be valuable and have weight. Otherwise it isn’t worth your time.
Or- just another propaganda machine for the wealthy?
If you have a totally free system it’s even worse and arguably more beneficial to the wealthy
Something the wealthy would say.
That’s fair to question, but dismissing an idea solely because it could come from someone wealthy risks missing the point.
The claim isn’t that wealth justifies the system, it’s that in any system, value concentrates.
A totally free space without friction often ends up even more skewed, because attention becomes cheap and manipulable.
Introducing cost reintroduces signal.
Or at least it’s a worthy experiment to see if it does.
Attention IS cheap, and manipulatable. It can’t become anymore. Speech SHOULD be free. it’s the value of the speech that should be paid for, not the space in the square to speak it. All your experimenting for is advertising and propaganda.
The good thing about this is that it would be one of like a thousand client options. Any given person would have to opt in by using this client, otherwise they could just use a different one and post a reply, no? Would this require a different note type or Kind?
Lol. You can zap 1 sat. Even if Bitcoin hits $1Million USD per coin, a sat is still only 1 US cent.
If you can't afford 1 cent for someone, then dont participate and react to a note.
