Pretty much. I tried to get a bunch of people to join SN, but it never worked. They all said the same thing: "You're crazy! You think I'm gonna pay just to post and comment?" I tried my best to explain why you have to pay, but I could never convince anyone.

I'm surprised you find paying to post being the issue, at least in bitcoiner-land the bigger issue I've come across is people not knowing how to use lightning or not being willing to set up a wallet.

I don't think it's the issue, it's more like just one of the issues. I'm telling you this from my experience trying to get people into SN, people who are new to Bitcoin. It's wild to me that you haven't heard anyone else say the same.

i've definitely heard it from non-bitcoiners, but I also haven't put as much effort into onboarding them. I kinda assume that learning about bitcoin in order to use SN is going to be too much of an ask.

I think using a custodial wallet is a good first step, and it's dead easy. I even got a few people to make one and sent them some sats, but they never ended up joining SN because you gotta pay! I barely know any other Bitcoiners in person.

i wonder if the prevalence of slop posting will change the aversion to paying. probably not, but a guy can hope.

Paying to post and comment seems fair to me, if someone likes your comment they'll zap you and the rewards they give you at the end of the day. I don't know, that's my humble opinion.
