We had it so that adding links/images were more expensive previously. We changed it though. We can reintroduce it.
Perhaps the solution is to give users the option to not see images though, like they are hidden by default and have to be clicked to be revealed.
Two more ideas:
Images when they are valuable are a key point in a well formatted post. Perhaps they can be hidden by default and a fee could be applied to show them immediately.
Or always ask a payment and show them immediately but refund the fee when the post earn X sats, as a prove they are valuable.
