You think this is the only purpose to charge for post and comments.
No it's not.
SN is a BCE and all the use cases it has we have them too, the sats are rotating and we are doing absolutely fine.
In addition to that I'm not sure why we should cry aloud about bots/spam. I absolutely don't see them flourishing here. They come here, stay for sometime, then go away.
Ah! We are a circular economy here. That is a very good point.
I make a habit if subscribing to everyone I think is a bot (in order to see how awful it is), so this may be coloring my view.
I'm glad to hear that you do not see bits flourishing here.
They won't flourish because mute + downzap work better demoralising them than raising the fees and inadvertently demoralising real stackers (and newbies are a bigger concern).
What then is the purpose of charging to post/comment at all?
