The reason I am repeatedly posting the same comments is because nobody has responded to them in a credible retort.
They cover what I believe are important issues that a small minority seem determined to avoid addressing.
It would be a tragedy to introduce cost on detail and depth and reduce SNs further down the trend of inane memes, abuse and trolling that already exists.
See @DarthCoins comments for examples of what I mean and he is far from alone in making responses that lack credible reasoned debate but instead seek to debase the narrative into blatant trolling abuse.

My suggestion was about having a 'limit' to the size of posts. Smaller tighter more efficient posts are usually better anyway? And beyond that length the space is available but comes at a premium just my 2 sats. The SN guys will decide they have done an amazing job so far.
If you don't like the size of a post don't read it- ignore it...keep scrolling.
But do not try to put a disincentive/tax on people who provide detailed in depth and thoughtful content.
The volume of low value low content low effort posts and comments has to be one of the worst features of SNs already...and you want to encourage more of it?
It hasn't been necessary up until now and probably won't be for some time. However I can already see the potential for excessive spam and paying more beyond a certain length is an interesting idea.
I frankly find that my best posts, to which I get the greatest response, are shorter. Being space-constrained is a really good thing (what they taught us in high-school English).
If i need lots of space to say something important I'll pay for it but I'm not sure it should be always free.
