similar, though i was imagining the fee would be determined by the commenter rather than the OP.

that means the fees can just be inherited from each commenter’s default zap settings rather than introducing a new UX element.

Sounds like what you want is to apply what we planned for DMs to comments as well: custom fees for replies. For DMs, I envisioned that it should be possible to set different fees per user (give some users a discount for DMing you) so if you feel like someone is trolling you, you could punish them with higher fees if they are replying to you.

Details and UX might be tricky though.
