I've always had the ~FiresidePhilosophy fee at 400 because I've noticed that when someone puts some intentionality behind a thought-sharing post, it usually does pretty well on this site, getting around 1000ish zaps. So in a way, I'm discouraging posts that aren't like that in the hopes to facilitate thoughtful conversation. I want it to be a bit of a challenge.

But, it doesn't get a ton of posts at the moment. Going to try some things to up the engagement and make a longer term decision from there. In the meantime, I do have to consider it kind of a passion project like @grayruby said.
