Oddbean new post about login | logout Client side UI idea: If you mutually follow each other, commenting on a note is free. If you don't follow each other, you gotta zap for the comment to be seen. This could be turned on and off in the client or viewed in a seperate tab. Bam! No more spam. Bots get priced out.
We can't all be doing it, but influencers would love that feature. Sort replies by zaps for the parent note & if you don't zap it at least 5 sats, I won't even see your reply. Good for the fans & good for the influencer. 80℅ of the reply guys are immediately excluded. Keep in mind that replying is a way that new users can get noticed. Most people not using nostr also have zero sats. We can't all use zaps as a filter.
