Good idea, I think it was fair for the OP to receive a small percentage of the zaps in the comments.

I agree. Right now, the OP doesn't get any direct benefit from comments, other than the joy of conversation.

If there were some sort of fee split that included the OP, then they should have an incentive to keep prices low enough that they get comments.

I understand the concept and that it will bring in more revenue and better comments. However, I'm also concerned that it might lead to less overall activity in the comments section. Given the current state of the SN, I'm not entirely sure if this is the right approach. We'll just have to experiment to find out.

I'd like to see them do something similar with comment fees, but I think we should get to set that when we make a post. Maybe the territory owners should also be able to raise them.
