yeah, there is a lot of value in the simplicity of the current scheme… i just wish it allowed me to use sats to protect my time & attention. this concept is already being used by reacher & vida, and it makes a ton of sense.

fiat never allowed us to earn for seconds or minutes of our time, lightning does. ‘no free distractions’ seems like a simple way of describing this policy.

the way i envision it is whoever creates a post should get sats for direct replies, and if i reply to a comment, payments should go to the person i’m directly replying to.

if you’re getting questions in response to your posts, you’d be earning sats based on the rate you set for replies. perhaps the same rule could be applied to tagging users too, so if someone tags you in their question, they need to pay to get your attention.
